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...

Exploring Eataly at Park MGM

 One of the reasons I wanted to visit Vegas was to check out Eataly. Eataly opened in 2017 inside Park MGM. Park MGM used to be the Monte Carlo. This hotel is bright and clean, and best of all, its smoke- free. Eataly is a huge Italian food hall and they have other locations around the world. I thought it was such a neat concept to have all these glorious Italian goodies in one spot. Just walk around and get whatever looks good, then grab a table and enjoy. From pizza, to Italian wine and cocktails, espresso, and pastries, you can find it all. 

We grabbed a table right away and plopped down. My family was tired of walking, so I took a stroll around Eataly to find us some food and drinks. My husband wanted a cocktail, so right away I discovered the bar, Enoteca, towards the back of Eataly and bought an Old Fashioned. Then I found La Pizzeria alla Romana. They sell Focaccia style pizza by the slices. Each slice was giant, and pretty pricey at $10 for the least expensive one. I bought a slice for all four of us, and I should have just bought two. The Roman style pizza was really good and you could taste the quality. My husband tried the Margherita one, our sons ate the four cheese, and I had one with salami and hot honey. 

For dessert, and there were a ton of dessert choices, I walked near the front and found La Pasticceria. They had a very big and sprawling amount of Italian desserts. We were full, so I just chose two mini desserts. A lemon tart and a chocolate bite topped with a hazelnut. Both desserts were delicious and the perfect bite. Just the right way to end our time at Eataly! They also had a Nutella cafe, selling Gelato and pastries. Our sons though it was fun seeing the giant tubs of Nutella. If you love Italian cuisine, go check out an Eataly if you're near one!
