Here 3; Larchmont

Here are the places in my neighborhood, in my neighborhood...



Larchmont Village.

The first time I visited Larchmont Village, I felt like I had been transported to St. Paul Minnesota. It made me a bit homesick. In fact sometimes when I feel a bit on the homesick side I take the long stroll down there to see the little shops and trees of the non palm variety.

Larchmont is home to many celebrities, James Spader I have heard among others. My co-worker says she sees Victor Garber quite a bit strolling down Larchmont Blvd.

What I also go back for, and quite often, is a slice of cheese pizza at The Village Pizzeria which has the best pizza this side of the Mississippi. I know that being from the Chi-town area I am supposed to by default love Chicago style pizza, but I have to confess that I am a New York pizza lover through and through. This is the best pizza in town; anybody who tells you anything else is full of it. You have to be good if your cheese pizza alone is phenominal. My recommendation though is that they put Tapatio on the tables.

Larchmont is also home to cute boutiques, Larchmont Village Wine and Cheese shop (great sandwhiches to go a picnicing) and will soon be home to a Pinkberry, which is all the rage here I guess.
