Going Back to the Dime Store Lunch Counter
My newest review is of Fresh & Fabulous in Oxnard CA, a quaint lunch spot and bakery that's owned and run by a dietician/nutritionist.
I knew the food would be health conscious which is it, but not to the point of foregoing flavor. What I didn't know is that they are expanding and moving to a new location within the same building -- the old Woolworth building in downtown Oxnard. They will take over the location where Experi-Mental Cafe was housed and with it gain more seats for patrons.
I am pleased to see a restaurant thriving during this wild economy. But perhaps the best part of the review was visiting the bathrooms, yup, that's what I said. "You might want to bring your change," said my dining companion as I mentioned I asked to be excused. "Huh?" "Trust me, she said, you'll be sorry if you don't."
There is an amazing Woolworth museum (perhaps the only one in the country), full of memorabilia and some of the oldest working games and vintage cosmetics
machines I've seen. Enjoy the photos and here's the review as printed in the latest VC REPORTER.
