Best way to burn off breakfast
Contrary to conventional wisdom, watching TV can consume an awful lot of energy. Watching a soccer
(a/k/a football) match, for instance, may involve any number of aerobic activities: jumping up to call the
referee a wanker, pumping fists, stamping feet, clapping, hooting, flailing, and, of course, slapping your
forehead. Go to the Phoenix Landing on any Saturday or Sunday morning (between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.), and not
only will you get a thorough workout watching a live English Premier League match, but you can keep your
strength up through it all up by consuming one of the best Irish breakfasts this side of Derry. For $7.95,
the Landing serves up a heaping plate of Irish sausage, Irish bacon, black pudding, white pudding, eggs,
potatoes, fried mushrooms, and toast. Asked how many calories are in the breakfast, a staff member offered
this painstakingly calculated figure: "Lots." So it had better be one hell of a game.
Phoenix Landing, 512 Mass Ave, Cambridge, (617) 576-6260.
