My Birthday 2008

Today is my birthday. We just got home from dinner at Nada, a new Mexican restaurant downtown (http://www.eatdrinknada.com/) Since it is really cold tonight we decided to take a cab to Nada (downtown ... 5 minute ride). Since we could not get a reservation until 8:30 (very late for us) we decided to catch a cab from our neighborhood wine bar (picture below).

Well, news travels pretty quickly in little villages and ours is no exception. At the wine bar tonight we heard some sad news ....The Gilded Age, our neighborhood gift shop, is closing.

Also tonight we got invited to a party this Sunday afternoon. Our neighbors, whose 93 year old mother is coming in to town this weekend, are having an open house Sunday. We do love our little village / neighborhood with all of its many characters.

So the friends @ Wine Bar were right about Nada. They told us the food was good, the music loud and the customers mostly in their 20's. Although we really liked the music it was kinda hard to talk over it. The ambience was very cool and contemporary. The food was really fresh mexican american mix. I had mahi mahi tacos and spouse had pork tacos and we split mexican mac'n cheese. We shared a complimentary birthday chocolate tart with ice cream. It was really good, pretty resonable too, especially considering we brought home lunch for tomorrow. For my birthday I also got an ipod docking station from spouse and a beautful purse from my friend Nancy.
