Sushi, Gin & Tonics, Grilled Cheese

I hope it's true that April showers bring May flowers because the showers are starting early. After meeting my long time friend and witnessing many inches of her tresses fall to the salon floor we headed out on the town.

We were totally up for trying a new spot for dinner but somehow walked straight to our favorite sushi spot. At Tono Sushi we were challenged by the guy sitting next to us to out sushi him and we did! Can you say spicy crunchy tuna, spicy crunchy shrimp, dragon, yellowtail with scallions rolls with two pieces of tuna, and two pieces of eel to follow...eat that Mr. Sushi Lightweight. The night was still young and my friend wanted to venture towards a Gin bar. "You'll have to pace yourself", she warned.

Lucky for us the bar had a G&T tasting for only $14. The bartender paired various botanical distilled gins with the perfect tonics. Who knew there is such a science to making a perfect G&T? As we worked our way through sampling MANY different gins I reminisced about my strange tonic water habit that developed in elementary school. "I'm not afraid of tonic" I announced to the bartender who warned of the high quinine content of his imported tonic. Our gin excursion left us ready for a midnight snack.

We headed next door to a 24 hour eatery and munched on grilled cheese sandwiches. Just one question- Is it presumptuous for a waitress to keep a $7 tip for a $13 check? We thought so. Clearly she didn't because she never returned with my change.

Despite the presumptuous waitress the night was filled with delicious fun that I shared with one of my BFF's.
