July, 16th, 2010Another year older, although somedays it feels like I have aged many years since last July. It was great to spend the day being showered with gifts and cards at school, then get wined and dined by my inlaws and hubby last night.
Have you ever been to Tribeca Tavern? Well, you need to go! It's another great venture of Rocky Top Hospiltality which has satisfied my appetite for years through Twisted Fork at Triangle Town Center, Michael Dean's, Bogarts, Hi5 and many more. TT boasts a cleverly named burger and sandwich collection made primarily with local meats and cheeses. Matt enjoyed the Blue Devil (fried jalepenos, carolina feta cheese, etc), his Mom and Pop went for the Wolfpack (2 patties, bacon, bbq, etc), and I had Jimmy the Greek for the 2nd time (can't go wrong with a greek salad on a lamb patty). Honestly the only bad thing about this place is the wait. We were told 20 minutes and waited an hour to be seated. This never really bothers Matt and I since we just hit the bar and wait it out among rather laid-back company. However, people who aren't drinking or have kids to keep entertained would not be fans of this long wait.
I give Tribeca Tavern a: B+
After dinner we visited our favorite movie theatre, the Galaxy Cinemas in the Crossroads Cary area. It's cheaper than other theatres, waaaay less crowded, and serves booze! They show all the independent movies and oscar noms that you'd never see at your local Regal Cinema. We saw Cyrus, the newest Duplass brothers film which debuted actual movie stars in the leading roles for the first time. It is nice to see Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly and a more serious role that they surprisingly actually pull off. Marisa Tomei is as always, superb.
