Yesterday, Hanna and I branched out from out usual weekend haunts to try out a new spot for weekend brunch: Athan’s Bakery in Washington Square, Brookline. It turned out to be a great place for people watching, reading (Hanna: Freud’s collected letters to Wilhelm Fliess, Anna: The Reactionary Mind by Corey Robin), and nursing our morning espresso. Here are some photos I snapped while we were there.

Cookies sold by the pound

Not exactly breakfast food, but …

There were lots of students with laptops working away
