Farewell Meal








I had a guest in town for about a month.  Although he did most activities by himself, I was able to do quite a bit with him.  We went on three walks and went to lots of cafes and restaurants.  His last day, I took him to Iron & Oak Brisket Co. and Riverside Rhapsody Beer Company.

Some other places we enjoyed:

Pie.Zaa
Botiwalla by Chai Pani
Bad Manners Coffee
Mother Bakery & Cafe
Taco Temple
