TGIFinally

It's finally Friday...time to celebrate by splurging on some fantastic food, of course. Tonight we tried Cristos in St. Paul. It is a Greek restaurant in the old Union Depot, which made for a beautiful & romantic atmosphere. They often hold weddings in this location with high ceilings, marble floors and large windows along each side of the room. We had read great reviews about the food at both this location and the Minneapolis location (on Eat Street) and thought it absolutely lived up to our expectations. We started out with an eggplant "hummus" appetizer (I won't even bother trying to remember how to spell the actual name), and then split a sampler plate of the most popular dinner entrees. My favorite was the lamb meat, while Jared liked the sausage. We had a LOT of leftovers! And of course, vino was enjoyed. After dinner we joined some friends at Grand 7 in Saint Paul for our friend Becca's birthday. That place is an awesome little dive bar! The bartender Gina pours 'em strong and the regulars are so comfortable with each other and the bar that they broke out into a full out male dance party. It was hilarious. Yay for the weekend!
