A Doggone Good Day With Beer

On one of the first warm days after what has been never-ending and cold winter, we got to go outside and take our dog to the dog park (in our case, the Highland Park Dog Run). And thank goodness we got to go out; our little dog has been chomping at the bit after being limited to short walks. The dog park was super muddy, which made it even more fun!

Capital Cuisine

[note] The Capital Grille invited us to try their new small plates meals – here is a run down of the visit.  What places downtown or elsewhere do you think offer a quick, tasty lunch? [/note] One of the city’s tastiest (and more expensive) restaurants is making life easier for The Burgh’s lunch crowd. The Capital Grille, which is located on 5th Avenue downtown, just added new seasonal fare to its “small plates” menu.
