Anthony - Getting To Know Our Hood

Today I got a great afternoon surprise - ride home from work!!!!  Just to give you a little background, I am a "busser" (is that a word?) and Cayce is a "car'er" (also don't think that one is a word but who is really reading this blog?!?!).  Basically, I take the bus into work everyday and he drives.  Every once in awhile I get to get to ride in the car with my husband and he drops be off at the door to my office - these are good days!  Today, was half a good day because I got a ride home (although I must say rides in beat rides home because it means an extra 23 minutes of cozy sleep, but I'm not going to be picky!).  

The whole point to this long winded story was that since I had a surprising ride home, I had a buddy to go get happy hour with in Edmonds.  We haven't really explored our new home yet - we decided someplace on the water would be good and Anthony's had the latest happy (until 6:30) so that was our place!

They had a great hh menu, $3 beers and $5 wines (not just the house wine either, there was a whole list!), they also had some $5 cocktails that looked tasty.  Cayce opted for beer and me a white wine, both were delish!  We also partook in some ahi nachos that were really different and very yummy.  Taro chips with ahi sashimi, and a sesame pineapple chutney and cream sauce - SUPER GOOD!  So happy hour was great BUT (yes there is a but) we realized a couple things:

1.  Anthony's was most likely built in 1983 and hasn't had a face lift

2.  Anthony's proved our point once again that there is, aheem, a "lack of diversity" in Edmonds.

3  We might be the only people between the ages of 28- 36 that live in Edmonds - in order to make a happy hour you have to bust your ass home or be retired, not many people can make it there at 3

All in all we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back, but we are still to adjusting to this change of scenery - not that it is a bad thing, we are still absolutely loving our decision!
