Earl's

There is no Earl at Earl’s;
It’s just a name that’s meant to tease.
It represents East Harlem
And the menu’s beer and cheese.

It doesn’t call attention
To itself, so all who go
Are regulars or those who heard
From others in the know.

Six beers on tap that rotate
And the most delicious bread – 
A toasted sourdough that’s served
With cheddar, chopped to spread.

Some other sandwich items, salads,
Mac & cheese and soup – 
A perfect place to go alone,
In pairs or with a group.

En route from a museum show,
No better place can please
For comfort, sustenance and brews
Than Earl’s, for beer and cheese!

Do they have a soup nazi? Fun poem Mrs Ilene. I prefer the Philly cheese steak:)

I should have checked in with you BEFORE I came to town! Of course, everywhere we went was also wonderful. Mebbe not as good as Earl's:-)
