On Saturday night we went out to celebrate Kristin’s birthday. We started at Frasca Pizzeria and Wine Bar where we had many glasses of wine and beer while enjoying olives, different kinds bruchetta, and fancy pizzas. We also had cake that someone brought. The cake had these ginormous mounds of frosting on them that were supposed to be balloons, but that everyone referred to as “the gonads.” They made the frosting part of the cake the tallest. Aside from the dining areas, Frasca also has a really large bar area and we stayed there enjoying ports and other drinks until they closed.

After Frasca we went to Cody’s Public House, a really cool neighborhood bar. A lot of people played pool and darts. I’d never heard of the place before but I really liked it. It’s a lot bigger inside than it looks outside, it’s dog friendly (I saw two dogs inside), really casual, there are many dart boards, and I heard that in the summer there’s a really great garden area with cornhole and bocce ball.
