Over by Union Square yesterday doing some shopping and Jamie was hungry so we decided to grab a bite at Lori’s on Powell. Lori’s is a cute little diner place which a nice selection of pinball games. The food seemed a little expensive but it was a bit of a tourist trap area so I don’t know if all their chains are similarly priced. I wasn’t very hungry so I ended up going with a Coke with Cherry and a banana split. I forgot to stir the syrup in the coke so got a blast of cherry when I took a sip. It was overall a bit strong, I’ll probably go for a shot of vanilla next time. The banana split (banana is a funny word to type) was HUGE and very tasty, pretty much what you’d expect. They were quite generous with the whipped cream, which wins them a point in my book. I heard that Max’s has better desserts but no complaints here. Service was fast and attentive.

Oh, I had the garden burger, which was just so-so. I’ve been to the other Lori’s Diner further up Powell. I think that one is better.
Good company and conversation, though!
