Ball Square Breakfast War Leads to Fisticuffs

Looks like the feud continues and has heated up a bit:

I predict detail cops will soon be a daily sight in the square. The next city fundraising effort will focus on tickets for blocking the sidewalk.

Well I did say "if that's what actually happened." And no, I assumed they were arguing about something stupid and it escalated to that point.

My favorite place to get brunch though is Johnny Ds, for the record.

This morning I discovered that I really like The Friendly Toast in Kendall Square.

Their food is pretty darn tasty, I have to agree. AND you can get the pancakes the size of your head for DINNER if you want them.

This is one of the reasons I find myself frequently in the Sound Bites camp -- they're open late. There's nothing quite like breakfast for dinner. And while the owner can be a bit brash, he's always been quite nice to me... he often gives us one of their awesome fruit bowls for free.

The one thing I do not understand is the bar at SB. They have the ONLY nice bar in Ball Square, one that I would actually sit at and order a cocktail at... except they're open until "whenever we want to close" (which isn't usually very late, 8:30ish?) and they have a terrible bartender. I would LOVE to see them do a little marketing and become a real bar at night. Booze AND breakfast?! Sigh.

The Friendly Toast is delicious, but it's all the way over there.

I'm a Johnny D's fan, tried and true.
