January 18, 2009: Small Block II

Update 04/01/2023: Small Block is now permanently closed.

Small Block was crazy-crowded at lunch time on Sunday, but the wait for a table was worth it for the lime syrup cake, especially recommended by Mike and Jo. Served warm, it's melt-in-the-mouth stuff, with a buttery crumb and that tangy syrup soaking through the top inch. The accompanying cream is entirely unnecessary but hard to resist when it's already there by your hand. I've no idea how much it costs but if it's anything less than $7 it's so, so worth it.
