steak tips, 4.11.25

after taking a nap, i woke up super hungry. i was craving a hot dog so i googled places. i came across a place in lynn called the lazy dog. i read through the reviews and several mentioned their steak tips. when i looked at the street view, i was nervous because there wasn’t any parking. still, i decided to pull up. turns out, there was a parking lot in the back. i walked up to what i thought was the front and they had a sign saying the front was in the back so i walked in the back that was the front, and it definitely was the back of the restaurant lol. i got sat and browsed the menu. i ordered the steak tips with fries, baked beans, along with a hot dog. all i can say is the reviews weren’t lying about the steak tips. they were the best i’ve had by far. the baked beans were great, and the fries were super fresh. what was even better was the ambiance. it felt like i was in the 80’s or 90’s. i love places that transport you back in time. at one point, the interior aesthetic was new, then it became old, then it transformed into nostalgia. that’s the life cycle of a lot of material things in life, actually. places like the lazy dog make life feel cinematic, not to mention the food was incredible.

as i was leaving, a guy asked if i wanted to play musical trivia. i had to decline because i was packing up to go home, but i’ll definitely have to be come back.
