P and I went to go see the Dale Chihuly exhibition at the Halcyon Gallery in Mayfair. After gawking at the ridiculously over-the-top glass sculptures, we were hungry enough to seek out brunch. Automat was the natural choice for two Americans in Mayfair, and we were seated at a nice sunny table in the back. Aside from a very irritating fire alarm that kept getting set off, we had an enjoyable time. My soft shell crab po'boy was not really a po'boy, but tasty nonetheless - I love the contrast in textures between the crisp fried shell and the soft crab innards. P had a burger which he happily ate despite (or because of) his raging hangover. Not exactly a cheap lunch, but we were in Mayfair after all...
