Dinner at 23 Hoyt

My albacore sandwich with ginger mayo, picked onions and avocado. So good!

jwa recently planned a ‘date night’, which was really very sweet of him. We went to dinner at 23 Hoyt and then to voicebox to sing. We even hit the end of happy hour at the restaurant which meant $5 cosmos, $1 salted, roasted almonds and $5 clams in wine, herbs, garlic and butter. SCORE!

Dinner at Wildwood
