I liked the people in the fishbowl/glass box, at the grainbelt building. Performance art is weird.

Mmm, sounds good. Do they do breakfast?

I went to some art-a-whirl events, and my favorite part was the bonfire. It was huge when we first arrived; later I went over there and no one seemed to be monitoring it and I was cold with a very large stack of firewood nearby… got that roaring in no time!

Thanks for the review, Dougie_D.

I may stop in for apps and a beer later this week.

Had dinner at the NESC on Friday. Food was simple and rustic. Started with the Fried Okra / French Fries App (7), pretty tasty and a large protion. I had the Chicken Breast over Cannelli beans (15) it was pretty tasty nothing I couldn’t pull off at home. Partner had an Arugla Salad w/ Bacon (7) and a bowl of the Veggie Soup (5).

Everything was fine. I probably won’t be back too often since nearly every item has beef or pork or lamb which I do not eat.

With 2 beers each the total with tip was $62.

When I saw the place, I thought about the run down Debonair Social Club in Raging Bull.

That was the scene where Tommy Como told Joey LaMotta that Jake was going to have to “hit the take” in his next fight if he wants a shot at the title.

Social Club looks like a good addition to the neighborhood.

Agreed. I look forward to coming back when they are not so busy.

I bought a small steel wall hanging/sculpture from a guy in the NK building…sort of looks like fish skeleton.

Nice to see Max, Cristina & Ang at the 331.

Art-a-whirl was, as usual, a nice weekend. Who bought art, and where? I just listened to some music, had a couple drinks, and grabbed a bit at the NE Social Club cubbie recommended.
