text: You know you are getting older when you walk into your old college hangouts and while still feeling nostalgic recognize exactly why those old hangouts are no longer a regular part of your life Do not get me wrong I will definitely always enjoy Hemingways for what it is a good place to get some pretty delicious fries to stop in for pretty decent deals on beer and to give in to my cravings for large burgers gyros and a range of fried appetizers And if I am ever looking for a place to eat reasonably priced pierogies I will always consider coming here to get them as their giant bowl of pierogies makes a meal in and of itself even if it is on the appetizer menunnBut now that I am a few years out of college I also know that I will never come to Hemingways in the evening during Pitts spring and fall semesters again No longer do I have it in me to tolerate screaming tipsy students blowing off steam after classes And I am definitely growing older if I am noticing the rips and tears in the booths and dings and scratches in tables and on the walls Those things did not matter to me once nnAlthough in a way they still do not It is Hemingways no one goes here expecting the ritz And if you are looking for a quick barlike sort of place honestly as long as you avoid the student rush ie stop in during their daylight hours or even in the evening during the summer I think Hemingways is definitely a place to consider with its quick service and a menu of barfood type goodness that just hits the spot when you are craving some affordable barfood goodness Sure it is no longer a favorite place for me to hang out especially since if I have failed to eat reasonably healthy foods throughout the day before eating here I feel awful yep definitely getting older but it is still an aok place to eat if you are in the mood for what they have and I will always look back on my old college watering hole fondlynnSo thanks for the memories Hems and I will be back the next time I want some of your delicious french fries
