I offered to take my friend, Carol, out for lunch in liew of a Christmas present and she agreed. We set today as the day to do it, but it took a few days to decide where to go for lunch. I wanted to try someplace I had never been before.
Carol suggested Fred's Inn in Norwich. I had heard about Fred's, and I called to find out if they serve lunch, and they did, so it was a go.
We met up in South New Berlin and headed out. Both of us needed to complete our food shopping for Christmas dinner, so we made that part of our day.
Lunch at Fred's was very good....we both had the hot prime rib sandwich. Although it was not on the menu, we are told that one trip to the salad bar was included in the lunch price today. The salad bar was great, and the sandwich was very good.
One neat thing about Fred's is the old photographs of Fred's and other places in Norwich. Here is a picture of Fred's the year it opened,
and here is a poster announcing it.
We really enjoyed our lunch at Fred's Inn.
Then we went to WalMart, Price Chopper and Dollar General, where we both completed
our shopping for Christmas! Carol suggested we drive down Main Street, so we did. We stopped at the Caboose so Carol could get a cup of coffee, but it had already closed for the day. It turned out to be a nice, relaxing afternoon.
I remember going to a conference and the presenter had to stay at Fred's because another place was musty and allergies. She asked to see the room to make sure it was clean, and the owner said no, but not no because it was dirty, but no because he makes sure every room is clean, and he takes pride in the rooms being spic and span.
ReplyDeleteBTW - how is the diner in New Berlin doing?
