Pret a Manger, Heathrow Airport Terminal 3, London UK

I lived off of Pret a Manger when I was a student in the UK. Sadly, since moving back to Boston, nearly all of their locations were closed, and even on a recent trip to NYC, most of their locations were closed… so it was a treat to see them thriving in London. I knew […]

Well, when the opportunity presented itself to find out, we decided to take it, the 45 minute drive only slightly deterring is. Ricky’s friends were “locals” – transplants from […]
