Another Good Restaurant
Bin 119, or maybe Bin 11-9, I’m not entirely sure as the 9 is smaller with a line under it. Anyway, it is located on Broadway, probably 119 Broadway, near the big brewpub and across from The Soup Place. Looked like a good lunch menu including a very good Reuben sandwich, this day and the [… Read More]
Good Eats in Billings
We noticed we were hungry a few days ago while looking for some odds and ends at Bed Bath and Beyond, which looks very much like the store it replaced, Linens and Things, wasn’t it? The new place has a lot of useful things, especially for the house. Next door was The Staggering Ox, not [… Read More]
Traffic Jam and Fun with Words
This is the season for looking over and thinking how clever you are to have bought all those great jams and jellies at the Farmer’s Market, especially now that the Market is done for the year. I can’t resist items with plays on words. This stuff is really good. Onetime I bought a book from [… Read More]
Magic City Rebuilding
There seems to be a fair amount of building and rebuilding going on here in the Magic City. There is a new building going up on the corner of 17th and Poly. It looks like it might shelter medical types, maybe even a plastic surgeon or two. I think they refer to themselves as soul [… Read More]
Another Farmer’s Market
I love these clowns and they get a lot of attention from our friends of the childhood persuasion. This probably means something. No gathering of farmers should be without an accordion player. Do our children know this? Are any of them learning how to play this awesome instrument? This is a new version of the [… Read More]
Mustard Seed on 15th & Grand
This place is worth going out of your way. For either lunch or dinner. Good beers and wines. Sort of a popular Asian idea on most of the dishes. Everybody moves here and the choreography works. Recommended. Today I had the appetizer form of glazed ribs for my entree together with some tasty soup. I [… Read More]
For Movies Go Here
This is a new movie complex on what is now the far West End of Billings: Off Shiloh Road and King if the former ever comes back into use. Will we be able to count these jobs as “saved?” Pretty snazzy on entrance and very steeply graded in the actual theatres so that you don’t [… Read More]
Seriously Excellent Ice Cream
Especially good with a little bit of gooey glavoring added. They are located over by Borders, on the other side of King Ave, past the car wash, then look around.
McCormick’s for Sunday Brunch
Actually, the time was right for brunch on Sunday morning, but the menu was only breakfast, just like at Stella’s. This one is on Montana Ave. Root beer was OK. Bratwurst wrap was only fair. I peeled the wrap off. The sausage was good. Other stuff on the menu looked good, especially the lunch menu. [… Read More]
Farmer’s Market: Saturday morning in Billings
Here we are in downtown Billings on Saturday morning, the 1st day of August 2009 A number of Hutterite colonies bring their excess wares to Billings. In fact they seem to be competing against each other. It may be more than they raise for themselves. The Hutterites are fairly numerous on the ground in central [… Read More]
