Hollywood Metro Review



On Tuesday this week my Mum and I couldn’t exactly decide on where we wanted to go for lunch so we decided to try out Hollywood Metro (one of the many Hollywood Bakeries around), it’s not really designed for people to sit down and have their lunch there so we got our lunch and went and sat down in the lobby of the AMP building which has great views and is really warm (I described this in more detail in my review of Lobby Espresso). Overall Hollywood Metro is good if you are looking for a quick bite to eat though other locations might be better suited depending on the amount of time you have for lunch.

My Mum and I both got a roll, she had a chicken roll and I had a BBQ Pork roll, my roll was quite balanced in terms of how much meat there was compared to lettuce or other such things (I have had ones before were it seems like the filling is ninety percent lettuce and carrot and maybe ten percent meat and some sort of dressing), so that was a nice surprise, it was also quite filling and at the end of it I felt that I didn’t need anything else. There was also a good amount of source in the roll which was really nice though really spicy (my Mum’s roll had the same source and also agreed that it was spicy), it left me with my face red and my nose running but I would get it again  and I would recommend it to people.

We didn’t spend a lot of time in Hollywood Metro but from the amount of time that we did spend in it, it seemed quite nice and that effort had been made to make it look good despite the small amount of space that it had. A slight downside is that a table and chairs are right by where the drinks are which would not normally be a problem but when my Mum and I went there were people sitting there blocking where the drinks were so we were unable to get a drink. This did dampen the atmosphere a bit but overall it was still quite nice.

As we did not spend much time there, I can’t comment that much on the service but what I can say is that it was the sort of service that you would expect from such a place that is to say it was good but not something you would rave about to friends or family.

If I had to rate Hollywood Metro I would give it a 6 out of 10 because while it is a small location and the table and chairs that are there could be better placed, the food My Mum and I had was quite nice and filling, and if you are in the bottom of town and feel like a quick bite to eat it is a good place to go. I would recommend this place to people who don’t have a long lunch break or just feel like a pie and something sweet to eat.

My Review of Billy Connolly’s Route 66

Image
Having watched the TV show I thought it would be interesting to read the book version, and I have to say that it was very enjoyable to read and just as good as the show. One of things that I liked about it was that it had some things that Billy Connolly saw and did along Route 66 which didn’t make it into the show, which I thought were still interesting even though he didn’t think much of them (I can see why they didn’t make it into the show), and if I were every lucky enough to travel along Route 66 on my own journey   I don’t think I would visit those places ether. That being said there were other things that I liked about the book such as that if you were traveling along the same route you could almost use the book as a guide for what things to do and what places to go as you make your way from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. When I think about it the book is not really that different than the TV show in terms of what is in it, it mostly follows what happ...

My Review of Avengers Endgame (2019)

Image
        Having been disappointed with how Avengers Infinity War (2018) ended I had mixed feelings about going to see Avengers Endgame, part of me was hopping this would be an epic superhero movie and another part was thinking it might be a disappointment like the last one fortunately it was the former. I found that the plot was well paced and kept me interested for the whole three hours and was not slow at any point, and given how many characters the directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo had to fit into the film I think they did a very good job with even some of the minor characters from   previous Marvel films getting some screen time.   As well as most of the characters we have come to expect from an Avengers film (Black Widow, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Captain America etc) Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) was also included.   From the small (in my opinion) amount of screen time that Larson’s character had I can see why peop...

“A Higher Loyalty – Truth, Lies and Leadership”, by James Comey Book Review

Image
Before I started reading this book all I knew about James Comey was that he had been Director of the FBI and was fired by Donald Trump, so when I picked it up from my local library, I was very excited to start reading the book and find out more about the man that I had seen commentators on TV talk about a lot throughout the later part of 2016 and early 2017. It turned out to be a very interesting book to read and one that I would possibly buy in future. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know about some of the more recent events in U.S. politics. When I started reading this, I thought James Comey’s book would be more about some of the events of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and the early part of the Trump presidency (which the later part of it was), but it turned out that a large proportion of the book was semi-autobiographical detailing his early life and his early career. I found this bit of the book to be the most interesting part for me becaus...
