Shop Local, Shop Handmade - Day 29 ...Let's Eat!

Do you have favorite small locally owned restaurants in your area? This is a great way to shop local and have a nice evening out. There are a couple in my neighborhood I patronize. Bay Street Bistro is is at the top of my short list. Everything I have had there has been scrumptious. They also now have a small outlet in our downtown Public Market called Carters & Company where you can get soups and lunch fare as well as the yummy Carter's ice cream, chocolates and desserts.

In the same vicinity are two other favorite spots, Amy's on the Bay and the 110 Lounge, a martini bar. For quick casual fare I like Blue Agave Mexican Grill. Don't let the cafeteria style ordering put you off. The food is fresh and tasty while the portions are ample.  If you follow any of the above links you be taken to their webpages for directions, menus and hours.

 

So as you are making plans to dine out this season, be sure to include some locally owned establishments in your plans.
