Books, Gifts, Lunch, Trivia - Trident Booksellers on Newbury Has it All!

Since I couldn't find a marathon of SVU on tv this morning, I decided to venture out to Newbury St. and do a little shopping. Somehow in the midst of thousands of Sox fans heading to the game, Kinsey happened to see me get off the T at the same door she was about to get on. She did a quick 180, and with that I had a shopping buddy!

After a productive stop at Victoria Secret's, we'd both worked up an appetite and headed down to Trident Booksellers & Cafe - one of my favorite hole in the wall gems on Newbury. I first discovered this great little spot for its cheap books and adorable journals, calendars and greeting cards. It didn't take long to realize that their food was equally as fantastic as their store.

Kinsey and I grabbed a seat outside since the sun was shining to grab a bite to eat. Tables inside and out were full so it took some time to grab some food, but as we weren't in much of a hurry, we didn't mind at all. The waitress was great - she checked on us regularly (but not so often that it was annoying) and apologized for the delay. When the food came, we were shocked to see how huge the portions were - Kinsey ordered the homemade veggie burger ($11) and I had a falafel wrap ($12).



My wrap was stuffed with all the good stuff - feta, hummus, taboulleh and tzatziki sauce. There was lettuce too, but it wasnt half lettuce / half other delicious items like some falafel wraps are. Yummm!

I asked Kinsey how her burger was and she responded with "mmmm...it's moist." Awkward response? Maybe...but if you're a veggie burger lover like we are, you know that a dry one is just icky. Moist = A-Okay in veggie burger world!

Other things to note, Trident offers free wifi, they are open every day from 8am-midnight, and they have trivia on Friday nights at 8pm. Along with a cafe area and outdoor seating, they also have a fully stocked bar!

Happy Reading!
