Fort Lauderdale Days

Fort Lauderdale is totally underrated. Not many US cities can you walk from bar to bar with a drink in hand. Even at 3am, it's perfectly legal. This place has beautiful beaches, crowded parties where everyone is friendly and minding their own, great food and who doesn't love a place where you can go to the beach (and actually take a dip) any day of the year? Of course, not when there's a hurricane stirring. You get the point...

The Elbo Room is in the center of Fort Lauderdale beach. With bright colors, doors wide open and a prime location, it's almost impossible to not walk into this place for a drink. If you're lucky enough, maybe you'll even run into the "MILF hunter" (as seen in the shades).


Another great place to stop at along this street is Sangria Cafe. This place along with the rest of the sidewalk cafes in this location offer happy hour specials like 2 for 1 margaritas. I opted for a Caiparinha which was very refreshing in the hot humid sun.

If the menu here doesn't suit your palate, there are a wealth of options neighboring Sangria Cafe.

Happy Hour or Not So Happy Hour?

Anyone who works in San Francisco, or any major city for that matter, know that happy hours are part of your weekly work schedule. On this Sunny Friday, my coworker Caroline and I decided to head out to Harrington's in the FiDi (Financial District) for a few beers. Though we've both been to this place a million times, it wasn't until now that we realized they don't have a happy hour. Guess after a long day of work, all you really want is a drink and sometimes you just don't care how much you're paying for it. Luckily, we were able to find an empty table in the outdoor area to watch the now famous FiDi black bird that has been attacking pedestrians.

After paying for a few overpriced beers, we decided to head over to Chevy's up the street. I'm not normally a fan of chain restaurants, but you can't complain when you're getting margaritas and appetizers for under $4 from 4-7pm.

Soooo many places for HAPPY HOUR in San Francisco. Gotta love it.

Cinco de Mayo!

Who: Me, Caroline and my new friends Hannah, Justin, Dustin and Jay
Why: Cinco de Mayo Happy Hour!
Where: Tres Agaves on 2nd & Townsend in SF - SOMA

I was planning on going straight home after work today, but I couldn't refuse an invitation to a Cinco de Mayo happy hour. So, I made my way over after work and met up with the masses that packed into the beer & margarita garden at Tres Agaves. I don't know how this place is on a normal night, but yesterday it was a blast.

They served great food, drinks and they even had a mariachi band and dj. The only downside would probably be that they had no drink specials! However, I did hear that they have a great happy hour on Giants game days from first pitch to last. Check it out - it's also a great place to go to before or after a game since it's right next to the ballpark.

Unfortunately - none of us had a camera.
