over there, that's that place on the other side of the bay bridge. for those of us who live in the city, over there can sometimes be difficult to muster up the energy to get to. from trying to rustle up a car to battling bridge traffic to wading through the bart crowds to finding out bart doesn't even stop in emeryville--it feels tiring and a bit of a hassle. but every now and then the so and i, usually on a sunday, feel the need for a visit to an overly large target and maybe a swing through ikea, just because. food choices in that little area can be uninspiring. from the cafeteria at ikea to the chain places at that strip mall cum main street thing next door, they are not exactly the off the beaten track eats i like to look for. however, there is a small outpost nestled somewhere between the super furniture store and the i need to pick up some household supplies stores, it's called rudy's can't fail cafe and we usually end up there since we don't want to drive around oakland looking for another place to eat. yep, those are our standards, plus it is a diner and you know i'm totally into those.
