What We Ate On ... MondayStaff Reports,
06:48PM / Wednesday, June 20, 2012 | |
 We had an Asian salad withsalmon from The Local in North Adams. We usually have the HarvestChicken Salad — apple slices and gorgonzola cheese! — but we were in themood for different fruit, like mandarin oranges. Then we were offered the choice of chicken orsalmon. Salmon, of course. (BTW, if you're at The Hub, try the salmon sliders.) It's a definite recommend: the fish wasflaky and not overcooked, greens were crisp and the sesame dressingsweet. You also get a choice of apple or baguette. Good choice for a hot day.
