Wafaa and Mikes

Wife and I orderd the Gyro Platters (One Chicken and One Lamb) with a side of hummus and tabouli...The portions were huge. The meat was great...the hummus was good but was doused a A LOT of olive oil. The tabouli needed a kick of salt or maybe a hint of lemon juice to add some flavor. All in all though, it was good, the service was great and it is definitely a welcomed addition to the neighborhood.

Has the back patio opened yet? If not, is there anywhere in Springfield where you can bring your dog and eat?

3 Layers has outdoor seating where dog's are welcome (I think there are water bowls, too), and the Uptown Market & Deli and City Kids Ice Cream that are coming to 3rd & Main in Aug will also have outdoor patio seating.

Stephen, great photo Wafaa and chef (catch his name?)

The outdoor patio seating area at 3rd & Main is a pretty nice feature. It also sets up perfectly for SPAR to take advantage of the street level spaces adjacent to it. The addition of that building's street level spaces to fill in with uses that complement 3rd & Main's retail spots, would be a great start to retail clustering along that stretch of Main Street.

There are a few in yesterday's front page article:

Take a look at SPAR's building in this image. The space with the window facing 3rd & Main's courtyard was occupied by Viva Computers last year. With little effort, that window could be replaced by a door facing 3rd & Main's patio area. You would then have better connectivity between two buildings and a potential built-in revenue generator for SPAR. It would also reinforce the idea of improving existing buildings along Main to create a more viable commercial district.

After biking through downtown for the artwalk tonight, I fled to wafaa & mikes to dodge the rain.

I tried out the schrama wrap, which was freaking delicious. 7 bucks and a huge portion.

Got it to go and went next door to shanty and had to share 1/3rd of it with John H the bartender because I couldn't finish it all. We have a good thing going here, let's make sure they stay.

My only complaint is that they should be open later.

I ate there today and thought is was pretty good. The tea could use some help though.

Looks like the only thing left on the patio is the fountain?

I ate there last week and it was great. I had the sampler plate which is pretty much a giant pile of all sorts of stuff and all of it was good. I personally liked the iced tea. I drink it unsweet and there's this really nice spiced flavor that I can't quite pinpoint but it's very tasty. I'm going back this weekend for round 2.

The patio is beautiful and will be amazing when it's complete.
