Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos. Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying. My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again. For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Beacon Hill has a new hot spot for pizza and you won't want to miss it. Breezy Town Pizza is located inside Clock Out Lounge on Beacon Ave. It is a bar but they're all ages until 8 pm. Since there are two separate businesses, you order your drinks at the bar and pay, then go to the other counter and order your food and pay. When its ready they'll bring it over to your table.

The first thing we had to do was whet the palate with a drink. I had a crisp Prosecco and my husband had a cocktail called a Grape Knee High- it had Vodka and Chambord. The two sips I had of that drink went down too easily and I could have had a couple of my own. We also shared a Caesar salad which was pretty standard. Another food besides pizza that Chicago is famous for is Cheddar and Caramel popcorn. I thought that sounded like a fun appetizer, so I went for it. And I'm pleased I did. Plus it was topped with sugared walnuts. Can you say tasty? All this goodness and we hadn't even gotten to the pizza. I knew it would be good.

I was right. It was pizza I'm still drooling over days later. They're going for Chicago/ Detroit style. Basically pan pizza with the caramelized crust of your dreams. For the Toddler pizza which we ate, they use Wisconsin Brick Cheese and Mozzarella, a nice and chunky tomato sauce, and then top it with Basil. The crust was really thick and is a sourdough they took their time to perfect. They use the word "cheese edge" for their caramelized crust and that is some serious yum. Every bite tasted incredible and it was great fun to eat a style of pizza I hadn't had in a while.

Well, damn, now I'm hungry again. Breezy Town Pizza is one of those places I must return to soon!
