the classic banh mi from nicky's (and their pho, not pictured today)

after a long walk. pretty darn good as always - although the last time we had banh mi was

in sunset park, which will overshadow pretty much any other banh mi experience to follow.

after nicky's, we strolled in the cool evening breeze, ending up at one girl cookie for their

last slice of apple pie & iced coffee :

we had never seen pies there before, and had this been a little warmed up, it might have

taken one of the top (imaginary) prizes i'd given out to all the apple pies around i've tried!

plus their iced coffee is always excellent, with their special coffee ice cubes.

a pretty darn perfect evening.
