Three more restaurants for the Richmond Alphabet Challenge. We are up to 13 and running strong. In late June we spent just over a week in Seattle, absolutely crushing some of their best food. Some travel logs are in the works, but none of that counts here, so on to Richmond.
Tucked behind the Siegel Center on Marshall St, Cabana is equal parts punk bar and neighborhood pub. We went for dinner and sipped High Life’s while picking off the sandwichesss menu. The Banh Mi So Hungry and Inna Gotta Da Pita are two great choices and also give you a little hint of the vibe they are going for.
We finally got over to this Northside spot after having it on our restaurant to do list for ages. Well worth the wait and hype. Everything was on point. The cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and dessert all got top marks from us. Only after the fact did I find out it is the same owners as Dot’s Back Inn.
We generally have a planned list of letters and locations to visit for this challenge. In May we walked into Lolita’s and broke that mold. Leaving us open to organically find new places too. In June, on the heels of a work happy hour, we decided to look for a walkable good restaurant near the Veil. Pinky’s was the spot. And Pinky’s was great. “Is this a letter?” “Yeah I think it is!”
