Best...Onion Rings...EVER

Just to check off an item on the Western Mass. to-do list, Chris and I went to the St. Patrick's Parade in Holyoke. After New York City, it's the second largest St. Patrick's Parade in the country (I would have thought Boston, but no).

On our way, we stopped at Nick's Nest on Northampton Street. It's a cute little luncheonette that has changed little since the 1940's. We had their signature steamed hotdogs, which were good but not particularly worthy of raves. But the onion rings, oh the onion rings...those were awesome. The rings were made of whole slices of onion, not diced onions mashed together, the breading was perfectly crispy and not too greasy, and the portions were generous. The onion rings were made to order, but only took a couple minutes to come out.

After agreeing that these were the best onion rings we'd ever had, we got another order to take to the parade with us. 2 hotdogs, 2 orders of onion rings, and drinks, came out to less than $15.
