Musikfest Woes

ellyssianIt was confirmed: Granny McCarthy's is not setting up a stand at Musikfest. Apparently, they lost too much money, in addition to spending the ten days overheating last year.
So, instead of paying about the same for a fish & chips and ice tea as I would eating it at the restaurant (when it's only available Friday night, or, for this week, Thursday through Saturday) I wound up paying $16 for a lemonade, small sausage sandwich, and fries. Oy.
Unfortunately, most of the places I might usually go - such as the Plaza Deli or Ripper's Pub - have a limited menu during Musikfest, so they tend to be off the list as well. Driving anywhere is also out, as there is a good chance of not being able to get back into the parking lot. I think I'll be heading to Subway or some other place within walking distance for much of the rest of the week - no point spending more for less. At least with the fish & chips it was of a good quality and large quantity. I could rationalize the $11.50 a day. I'm sure there are good vendors down at the fest, but $16 dollars and a half hour later I'm hungry, and I'm not sure I'm willing to experiment with places further away.
