Tasty

Last night’s outing to Hotel Biron and Zuni Cafe was a great time. Hotel Biron is a little back-alley wine bar, which seems to be a well kept secret. There were very few other patrons while we were there. Most likely due to the somewhat hidden location…it seems to be located in an alley and has a very non-descript entrance. There may not have been many patrons, but the wine list was certainly acceptable.

Zuni Cafe was fantastic. Between the oysters and the brick-oven roasted chicken it seemed like a little slice of heaven. Add in some more great wine, some fantastic company and we ended up with a smashing success to the night.

This weekend we are celebrating Mike’s birthday. Yesterday was his actual birthday, but we are going to dinner with friends tonight. Finally going to give Zuni a try. For years we have kept telling outselves that we had to give the place a try. I finally made reservations…so tonight 5 of us will be putting the restaurant to the test. Most likely we will start the evening at Cav or Hotel Biron for a sampling of wine and cheese, considering our reservation at Zuni isn’t until 8:45.

Tomorrow we are considering heading over to Stern Grove to enjoy a little latin/tango music.

Pride

Pride weekend is upon us again. It’s easy to tell…it’s freakin cold again. I can remember one Pride weekend in the past 10 years that has been really nice out… one where it was actually too hot…a few that have been downright cold…and the rest just ‘on the cool side’.

I’m figuring that there will be a bit more of a celebratory feel to the events this year considering the marriage decision. Probably a few more protesters as well. Luckily they tend to kinda disappear into the crowd…just too many supportive people for the protesters to really stand out.

I’ve debated on attending the actual parade or not…it does tend to go on and on and on and on and… Still, it is a great people watching opportunity, and photo opportunity. Which means I’ll probably end up standing along Market Street by 10am as usual. hehe.

I’ll certainly be catching at lease one of the performances at the Pride Festival…Cyndi Lauper is going to be performing! You can see more about the whole event by visiting the SF Pride 2008 website.
