mc, sister, and laura leeIt's true, I love a good outing with friends. Whether it's catching a mid-day coffee, a quick bagel before the work day begins, or tcby...it's all good to me. On Wednesday night I went to a newish place in downtown Tallahassee called 101 with sister and Laura Lee {longtime friend and my fabulous landlord}. Now, Tallahassee is an odd capital city - difficult to describe but it's definitely not your big metropolis like other state capitals. But nonetheless I love Tallahassee and love new local places to try. We have a vast culture of artists and restaurateurs around these parts whom I love to support. I think 101 could flourish downtown and I hope it will bring more local hot spots downtown.
I had heard mixed reviews of 101 but was still anxious to form my own opinion. Here goes: food - mediocre plus; atmosphere - cool and swanky, adored the live jazz music, but borderline too many old creepy men as I walked past the bar; drinks - superb! My drink of choice that evening was the Champagne Martini...with a twist. As I was told recently "Mary, you can never order anything just as it is on the menu!" I think of that as a compliment..ah, thank you. So my martini included Champagne and Triple Sec plus a splash of pomegranate juice. divine.
We had a fabulous evening together and LL gave me a whole bag full of magazines which she knows I love. So this weekend's task includes going through all of them and tearing out my favorites to file. Oh, and I'm going to paint some furniture gold. Sounds like fun to me!
I know it's overrated but TGIF!
