Peanut Butter for Peanuts

Peanut Butter & Co is a West village enclave that serves…you guessed it, peanut butter. The cozy restaurant has a comforting vibe with warm yellow walls adorned with vintage posters. The menu includes a wide variety of sandwiches with sides of potato chips and carrot slices that can be paired with a nice cold glass of milk. Though the prices are just right for a Cheap Chick budget (about $5 and up) you may feel that you're paying a little much for a PB&J sandwich, even if it's the grilled Elvis, with its bananas and honey or The Heat Is On, a spicy creation with grilled chicken and pineapple jam. I personally recommend that you check out the dessert menu, which includes Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and Peanut Butter Tiramisu as well as sundaes incorporating peanut butter. A particular Peanut Butter & Co favorite of mine is a chocolate milkshake with a shot of peanut butter; it's like the best peanut butter cup ever! Before you leave the restaurant don't forget to check out the different products for sale, such as peanut butter filled pretzels, a wide range of peanut butters including some blended with honey and maple syrup, and Peanut Butter & Company's own cookbook. For $2 you can even start your own peanut farm with the kit sold by the restaurant.
