“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety

More Good Restaurants in Billings II






These are two restaurants with the same name. I don't know which came first. I think they are owned by the same people and that they started in the Heights on Main Street, where else in the Heights; and that the one downtown, around the corner from the Police Station, was a metastasis from the Heights place. Soup and Such is the name. The one in the Heights, the first four pictures above, features 1/2 sandwiches and soup or salad, one or the other but not both, unless you pay more I suppose. The one downtown has a more rigid menu: you get soup and salad, and both of these are very good by the way, as much as you want, just take a clean bowl or plate each time you approach the groaning food table. You get a little more variety if you take it out, but not much. Decorations in both places are fairly basic with the novelty of clocks set at different times on the wall of the Heights place, all saying Time for Soup in the local language.
