Polly Want a Sandwich?

A little over a year ago, the highly anticipated Green Parrot Bar & Restaurant opened in the newly constructed shops at the former Goodnoe’s location in Newtown.  With a bar fit for the most enthusiastic of sports fans (they have over 20 flat screen HD TVs & play just about any athletic event you could want to watch) and a gorgeous outdoor patio, the Green Parrot has been bustling ever since.

With my boyfriend being a San Francisco 49ers fan, we already knew that Green Parrot was a great place to catch a game, one of the few local bars with NFL Sunday Ticket.  We would stop in on Sunday, grab a few appetizers & a couple of beers, yell at the TV a bit, and call it a day. However, after a couple of recent lunch visits to the Green Parrot, I find myself thinking much more about the food than about the upcoming football season!

At my first lunch event, I ordered quesadillas, which arrived packed with healthy beans, just the right amount of cheese, and fresh salsa.  The best part was- it wasn’t greasy at all.  On my next trip, I ventured to try the Sonoma Flatbread – a heaping salad atop crispy flatbread. On both occasions, I was impressed with the fresh, wholesome food options that went well beyond average bar food.

Hopefully the discovery of these fresh & healthy dishes will keep me away from all of the Sunday football wings! (but seriously- who am I kidding?)

   Hey… It looks like there’s a problem with the site layout. For some reason the text block overlaps the border. Is this just me or are others reporting the same thing? Just wanted to let you know in case you’ve been in the past couple of days. Thanks! Elenora Mcfetridge
