Hi-Dive on the Water Front $6.25

The Hi-Dive on the Embarcadero at Pier 28 served Manhattans in ICE cold glasses. Yummie. The view of the waterfront is great with windows right on the dock. This place has been here for a while. Probably has a history that I'd like to hear. The Giants were playing at the AT&T stadium just down the street and on TV. Lots of watchers.

Larnie had hiked all day with colleagues in Palo Alto and needed a Manhattan

We decided to eat the turkey burger and fish taco with cold Fat Tire beer.

Tama Say Sushi with Nigori

We were walking through Noe Valley heading towards one of the regular bars and happened to look into Toma Say Sushi. To our delight, it was our old friend and NOH dancer who was tending the tables. She used to own our favorite Sushi restaurant on Mission Street - Country Station Sushi. Same owner. We were delighted.

Forget the Manhattans when we can have unfiltered sake like we did at Country Station Sushi.

Yummmm. Sushi was great too.

Then went to Eliza's for a hot tub.

Manhattans at home $0

We like having Manhattans at home. They are free. Our glasses are special and quite large. Actually kind of huge.

We always order in.

Did I mention that the Manhattans are quite large :-)

Argus on Mission Street $5.00

We came in time for the Happy Hour - not our usual time - but the Manhattans were just $5 and they were big and strong. We liked them.

We never ask for the good brand like Maker's Mark 'cause they'll all taste the same more or less. On Thursdays they so serve the Maker's Mark for $5 but since our date night is Wednesday, we have to get what we can get. They do have a Limoncello Martini for $7. I want to try that some day.

This bar has an atmosphere we like. Will come back sometime soon.
