*Finally tried Metaxa - Okay, backstory time. I've been obsessed with finding this stupid Greek liquor ever since I saw this awesome old Heavy Metal ad. I finally found it at a suburban Greek restaurant, and got a weird variation on a Manhattan but mixed with this instead. It was called the Athena, natch.
*Oakland Ave Earth Oven Pizza & Golden Flask - This household of folks built a stone and clay pizza oven in the backyard, and once a week they become this speakeasy restaurant/bar. It's amazing and cheap and tasty.
