Eat on North: My birthday Lunch in PIttsfield

Published on October 1, 2016 By Emily. Updated on October 1, 2016

Last Saturday, Brian and I went out to lunch to celebrate my birthday a few days early.  We don’t eat out very frequently and I always struggle to decide where I want to go.  This time around, I wanted to go somewhere I’d never been before.  After a bit of internet surfing (and polling my Facebook friends), I decided that it would be a perfect day to try out a fairly new Pittsfield eatery: Eat on North.

Eat on North interior

Eat on North opened last year at the same time as the hotel that it’s part of: Hotel on North.  The pair opened to much acclaim and press, with the hope that the establishments would bring more tourists to the Pittsfield area.  I’ve read so many articles about it (like this one from Berkshire Magazine) and walked by so many times, I was excited to finally give the restaurant a try.  The menu looked great and Eat on North specializes in local food, according to their website “nearly everything [they] serve is from Massachusetts, Vermont, and the Hudson Valley”.

Eat on North bar

The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived around noon.  I think we were the only patrons the entire time we were there.  I’m assuming that’s because it was Saturday lunch and my impression is that Eat on North does most of it’s business during evenings and events, but I don’t have anything to compare it to.  We spent a few minutes pondering the single page menu before ordering.

Eat on North artichoke and spinach dip

We started with an order of the artichoke and spinach dip.  I’ve eaten my fair share of artichoke and spinach dip over the years and this was definitely one of the best.  It was rich and flavorful and Brian and I both remarked on how chunky it was.  The amount of dip was perfect for the number of pita slices we were provided and we scraped the dish clean.

Eat on North fish and chips

Brian ordered the fish and chips, which smelled incredible and tasted great.  The fish was super crispy and the fries were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Eat on North chickpea quinoa cake

I ordered the chickpea and quinoa patty.  I really enjoyed the blend of fresh spinach with the soft, flavorful patty and the sauce underneath.  It didn’t look like much food, but after the rich artichoke and spinach dip, it was plenty.

I was pleased with our meal at Eat on North, though the final bill was a bit much for a lunch.  In defense of the restaurant, we did order an appetizer and Brian had a beer.  And the food was very good.  I’d gladly return to Eat on North, but it’s probably going to be for a special occasion.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
