I went to Avenue5 for happy hour tonight..and I really regret not going there sooner.  I live around the corner from it and have a friend who bartends there..and still haven’t been there in the six months I’ve lived in Bankers Hill.  I had a glass of wine (a blend of merlot / sangiovese) and it was amazing.  I ordered the petite steak with seasonal veggies and oh my god.  It was like heaven in food form.  I am a salt fiend and the steak was perfectly seasoned, and the veggies..delicious.  Potatoes, baby carrots, asparagus and broccolli.   I am going back next week and ordering the same thing.  If you haven’t been, please go.  Their happy hour now extends from 5-9pm daily.  (their menu has changed from what’s listed on their website)



Partyyyyy!

NYE and more..

Slight delay in posting, but NYE was really fun this year.  The past few years I have spent it in San Diego, but this year I spent it with friends from back home.  Chanelle took me to The Standard and afterwards we went to Cafe101, got the best veggie soup and saw Ryan Gosling. We died.  For Ryan Gosling, not the soup.  Actually, for the soup too. I decided that from past experience, The Standard’s pour sucks.  In a vodka soda, it’s 90% soda water and 10% vodka.  So what do I do?  I order vodka on the rocks.  The first few sips made me feel like I was breathing fire, but then I got used to it.  I’d actually order it more often if it didn’t make me look like such an alcoholic.  There’s some pics below. I’ll have more once Chanelle sells me her dvd full of pictures.

Work’s been super demanding and busy, but after this week I think it should mellow out.  Saturday we are having our grand opening party of The Martin Bldg. + Flats (my apartment complex).  Sanctuary 143 is throwing the party with/for us.  We’ll have The Linkery and The Pearl Hotel catering, beer from Stone Brewery, wine, artists and a DJ from groove247.com.  It should be fun and I want the party to continue at Nunu’s after :)

Oh, and!  I’m going to Portland and Seattle in less than two weeks!  We got a hotel room at The Jupiter Hotel, which I am so excited about.  I have a tour at Portland State University since I am looking into their MBA + program.  Then off to Seattle!  Even though I just got back from vacation, it’ll be nice to have another mini one.

Now, off to Lani’s birthday dinner at Apertivo.  Can’t wait for their grilled veggies and fetuccine alfredo.  My two favorites. Oh, and maybe the caprese salad too.  Oh, and maybe a meat ball. God I love you Apertivo.
