This evening, R and I went to a Valentines Day week kick off at the Ferry Building - or something like that. Lots of tables set up with wine or small portions of food for those interested to try. It reminded me of markets that one would find in every major city in Spain. Take a wine glass around and taste what each station has to offer. Pay with cash or tickets, walk through the crowd, select which portions look most appetizing, and enjoy random string bands or soloists. Between the two of us, we tested out spring rolls, sausage on a stick, strawberries with creme fresh and honey, meat skewers, and of course ended on chocolate cake. So fun to see all the people and take in the sounds and smells.
We skipped the wine tasting portion due to the allure of a happy hour. After walking in one direction and then the next, we ended up at Sens. Happy hour until 8pm, Monday-Friday. Can't beat that! One side has a restaurant and bar, but we got a table in their large lounge feel room, that has a swanky almost club like feel. Loud music and DJ added to the plentiful happy hour menu. R ordered a flatbread pizza - yum. Beer, wine, and Moscow Mule spin offs flowed as girl night progressed (L joined us). I enjoyed Sens, but now have a raspy voice from talking over the music.
