88. what city used to be

Yesterday seemed like such a long day..well I guess because it was really eventful. It was pretty spontaneous too, as all the best nights usually are. First my friend Daniel & I went to Beer Bistro. This place is across the street/diagonally from my building so it's quite convenient. I lovelovelove their fries - they're fried in duck fat and come with smoked ketchup..mmmm. I don't even drink beer but I decided to try a few since it's Beer Bistro & they have about 83894274834 different beers from around the world. I tried 3 sample beers - McAuslan Apricot Wheat, Ephemere Pomme, & Fuller's Chiswick Bitter. I'm not a beer connoisseur so I won't attempt to review them..all I'll say is I'm gonna stick with cocktails.

I went back to my building, hung out in ____'s room for awhile, went back down to the lobby bar to find my friend Mark & his brother. We decided to go to EPIC, the lounge/restaurant in the Royal York Hotel (which I posted about in my previous post). Had a yummy sour apple martini and a chicken caesar salad.
After EPIC closed, we went back to 1 King West. We met 2 really drunk men from Vancouver (Frank & Dean) Dean kept looking at me and smiling, so we all started talking. They're so funny, I love them.

At 3am, we went to Fran's for the usual middle-of-the-night breakfast!!
The food took forever so we went next door to the Pantages Hotel to check our their lobby. It was so cool - I'd like to refer to it as Belvedere heaven.




After our breakfast, we came back to our lobby and sat around on the couches until 5:30am (normal for us). Starbucks across the street opens at this time, so we went in an attempt to be the first customers of the day...but unfortunately there was already one guy ahead of us.
