I more or less finished a high-visibility, high-stress two-week work project yesterday afternoon. Naturally, I went down the hill to celebrate.
Taiwanese dumpling joint that I've never tried? No bar seating, and I didn't feel like being alone at a two-top.
Nuna Ramen? Not yet open.
Brouwer's? Hell yes! Mm, Belgian trippel with my fish & chips & curry ketchup. I learned that they're going to have a Bierlesque night there on April 6th. That's not my jam, but it is that of the Tickler, et al. I also (re?)learned that they have a barleywine festival every February, and I love barleywine. Edited to add: Brouwer's has tons of stickers and art, often hilarious, that are best seen from the bar.
On the way there, I stopped by the little shop a mere block and a half from my place that I've seen an older gentleman lovingly remodeling. This time, there were two fellows, both able to talk. Even though I'd noticed what looked like ice cream tubs, I asked them what the place was going to be. The guy with the grey pony tail who I was used to seeing said, "Espresso, gelato, and crepes," pointing to the places where each would be made. They're trying to get licensed for performances (!) in the back of the space.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I moved here for the convenience to both Green Lake and downtown. But possibly the largest attraction of Fremont, both lower and upper, is the food & beverages.
Oh: as of this morning I'm boosted for COVID, CDC & Walgreens be damned, and completely vaccinated for shingles. Take that, bugs!
