Latin American Club - $5

Two Manhattans for $10. A deal. Jim Beam Bourbon.
Nice decor. Good paintings. Very San Francisco.

Manhattans big. Looked like they were going to be watery but they were strong.

Overall good feeling in bar and great Manhattans.

Dinner at Herbivore on Valencia Street.

Argus for the world series - $7

The world series was on - Phillies vs. NY Yankees. We don't watch sports. But a bit of world series is fun when the bar is alive with anticipation and energy. The Manhattans were VERY good! Tiny bit of cherry juice but not enough to spoil it. Oh, please don't add cherry juice. But we are NOT trying to direct the bartender unless they ask. We are trying to enjoy what that particular bartender thinks is a great Manhattan. A tiny bit didn't spoil the drink but it wasn't enjoyed at 100 percent. Had a good time.

The Yankees won.

Then we had dinner at Jasmine - seafood pot, mandarin clay pot and sizzling rice soup.

oh good.
