Yesterday, Anjali and Nickie (both from England) and I decided to meet for a mid-week breakfast, an informal breakfast club. Usually the exchange students will meet on weekends but it's good to connect during the week too.
We decided to try Louie's. I've found that most places around Providence as well as cafeterias on campus have vegan selections, which was a nice surprise to me. I'm not vegan, but I try to avoid greasy stuff. Louie's is a greasy spoon breakfast type of place open from 5am to 2pm everyday. I was happy to find a bowl of oatmeal with fruit on the menu as well as scrambled tofu, pretty good for a greasy-spoon type of place. My order came to $3.50.
Nickie and Anjali both got pancakes, turns out pancakes are quite exotic for the European exchange students, a real American breakfast. As for reviews, the pancakes and bacon were pretty trashy but my food was not too bad for a greasy spoon. We met at 9:30am and already people there were drinking pitchers of beer. Wow!

I know you think I'm being neglectful but I still keep up with the blog.
I've been bad!
Ask your British friends if they prefer flap jacks or pancakes?
I will ask about the flapjacks! There is a "pancake day" holiday in Britain. Something to do with a religious holiday. I can't quite wrap my head around it, but on that day (and it seems like that day only), they eat pancakes.
