The wife and I are going to venture into the city from the burbs on a Thursday (April 30th) night for our anniversary. And instead of doing all the things we did when we lived in the med center (nothing) We wanted to do something.

Thinking about a hotel downtown, hitting a happy hour somewheres for drinks and talking, dinner at someplace crazy trendy, and maybe a show or something after.

So young people where do I drink, eat and drink more?

No steak houses, budget for dinner is just about anything (we've done marks and the pass, oxheart and underbelly... I am leaning towards uchi and hugos right now)

Way to slip a typical downtown restaurant/bar/hotel recommendation thread in here with the clever title.

Now it's my turn...Google, UrbanSpoon, and Yelp are all places with tons of recs for what you're looking for.

No but really there was a thread on here earlier that suggested a good hotel downtown close to bars and what not. Here it is

Uber to Commonwealth on Washington for dinner (or Brasserie 19 if you and the wife like to people watch hot hookers trying to pick up rich dudes, food's good too)
Uber back to Nightengale Room downtown for more drinks and live band

Ya welcome

What is with the reservations at Museum Park Cafe?

Are they booked solid forever or does it not work?

My wife's parents liked Sambuca and El Big Bad when we took them there (restaurants).

For bars, there's Okra, Pastry War, and Bad News (Bad News is hard to find, but bartenders and balcony are worth it).

If you want to park and not worry about taking a car anywhere:
Room at Hotel Icon
Dinner and show at Prohibition
Drinks afterwards at Prohibition, Captain Foxhearts, Pastry War, Okra etc...
All aboard the train to downtown pound town


N/M just saw you're staying on a Thursday, just go Cougar hunting at Local Pour for a third and then take them both upstairs to Marfrales afterwards. Obligatory ITL is full why don't you go spend the night in El Paso.....

They do have a good list. The markup is pretty reasonable.

Reef is similar in that regard.

Julep HH (4-6:30)

Cause there are never any restaurant rec threads on here. They're so few and far between, you gotta get yours in when you're lucky enough to see one pop up.

I really wanted to try the Museum Park Cafe but they took down online reservation and have never picked up the phone, or returned my voice mail. And upon checking yelp about a second a go it is
closed.

So the plan is to show up mildly tipsy with no resi at Uchi. We have never been
so I am excited.

Drinks at Okra for HH

Not sure what to do after dinner. Probably Anvil or Hay Merchant since we can walk to those.

Brunch the next morning at Pondicherri

Quattro is good downtown. Chef is Italian. Probably top 2 or 3 authentic Italian in town. Hand made pasta, etc.
