My favorite part is the changes being made at Waverly Place. This shopping center was once the place I went to as a kid, to the movies, restaraunts (remember Chi Chi's and Binky's Diner?!), and was where the Harris Teeter everyone went to once was. I am so glad to see it being revitalized and becoming more than it was ever thought to be! A Farmer's Market, Pavillion, Restaraunts with patio seating, shuttles to concerts at Koka Booth?!

We went to see Pink Martini with the NC Symphony at Meymandi Concert Hall in Downtown Raleigh. It being a Friday evening, we were a little rushed to make the 8pm show, but managed to squeeze an AWESOME dinner beforehand. <br /><br />I can't rave enough about how good it was. They offer call ahead seating, which made all the difference for us that night. The vibe and atmosphere is just as funky as their Creedmoor restaurant, but has a littl more upscale appeal, and is just really cool in one of the old buildings down there. Although, it's not a huge place, it was quiet enough for Blake and I to chat. <br /><br />The margaritas were fabulous, I had the Organica, which has a splash of OJ in it to make it a little sweeter than the more tradtional one that Blake had. So yummy! <br /><br />We split an appetizer which was kind of like a spanish bruschetta, and then split the "Dos Taquitos" (steak tacos) entree. Delicious! Chips, Salsa and Guacomole were also served. <br /><br />The service was friendly and quick, well above our expectations since they knew were were a little rushed. <br /><br />Don't expect your run of the mill mexcian food, nor prices, but it's definitely worth it. <br /><br />The bar in the back looks fun too! Definitely headed back when we can!<br /><a href="http://www.dostaquitoscentro.com/"><br />Check it out here.</a>Autumne Bennett, Realtor Extrordinairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569298898577770391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178394410952712046.post-26632178439457708842011-03-07T13:48:00.000-05:002011-03-07T13:48:04.474-05:00March Newsletter is Here!

We spent a week in St.Thomas with day trips to St. John and Jost Van Dyk. I must say, I've never eaten so much good food! <br /><br />Our favorite spot is a new restaraunt, just opened up in American Yacht Harbour in Red Hook. Fish Tails. It overlooks the marina, and lots of awesome fishing yachts. We ate there 3 times, it was so good! Our favorite was the catch of the day, we had tuna, mahi and blackened queen snapper. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Prices were reasonable too. A must try in St. Thomas if you are ever there!<br /><br />Our favorite on St. John is an establishment that's been there for 30 years. <a href="www.stjohn-caferoma.com/">Cafe Roma</a> You would never think you could get great Italian food on a Caribbean island, but boy did we! I had the Veal Giuseppe, a baked veal/eggplant parmesean type dish and Blake had the Rajun' Cajun, an out of this world andouille sausage/chicken/pasta dish in a spicy cream sauce. Oh, I wish they were right down the street! (But my waistline is glad their not!) <br /><br />If you are ever on the islands, you must check out these 2 great spots! We can't say enough about them!<br /><br />Want to take your own boat ride around the islands to see places like <a href="http://www.foxysbar.com/home.html">Foxy's</a>, <a href="www.soggydollar.com">The Soggy Dollar</a>, Virgin Gorda?
