Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Over the weekend, I posted a picture of Monkey enjoying a Mandarin and soda during Happy Hour at a downtown LA restaurant and bar that's heavy on steaks, and asked you to guess where he was. No no no, it's not the Standard! Monkey wasn't on the guest list for the rooftop bar. Monkey was across the street at...Nick & Stef's Steakhouse of Joachim Splichal's Patina Group.
Now Monkey is on a road trip, and has motored into the Bay Area. For Friday Happy Hour, he was in downtown San Francisco enjoying another Mandarin & Soda in an almost all-black, wear-your-sunglasses-inside bar in the lobby of a swanky hotel. Just inside the front door, the ceiling goes all the way up to skylight, which at Happy Hour, lets some waning sunshine in. The bar has a list of about 40 "signature" cocktails (doesn't that defeat the idea of "signature?"), several of which include: the Wondertini (Chopin vodka with a splash of Bonny Doon Muscat Vin de Glaciere), San Franhattan (Johnnie Walker Black, Amaretto di Saronno and dash of cherry juice), and the Dot Com Bust, which is a glass of tap water on the rocks.
We also ordered French fries, which came out in a paper cone resting in a wire frame, mostly because we needed to sober up. The drinks are fairly strong, and had Monkey singing the alphabet backwards!
