Broadway Cafe is on the corner of LaVista and Briarcliff, in the same shopping center as Pita Palace and Thai Chili. (It used to be across the street but moved earlier this year.) This is another one of those places that I've had my eye on for awhile.


I have glanced at their menu before, but when I got there I realized that I had made the wrong assumptions. Broadway Cafe is a vegetarian restaurant---no meat. They do have a variety of New York foods, but no pastrami. I had to change my game plan quickly. I thought about getting the falafel, but I decided on an individual pizza. It was pretty good---not world-class New York pizza but a good meal. Next time, I'll be in the proper mindset...

I've had Pita Palace on my radar screen for awhile. I was finally in the neighborhood at lunch time, so I stopped by. It's across the street from the Whole Foods on Lavista. It's an all-kosher restaurant, which I consider a plus. And they serve Dr. Brown's soda.


I had the shwarma (pita) platter, which was huge. I was in the mood for a salad to balance my meat, so this was definitely the way to go. I believe the meat was chicken; it was very tasty. As you can see, the pita and meat came separately, not with the meat pre-stuffed as is so often done. I found this approach more civilized. Overall, it was a hit with me---fun but at least moderately healthy.
