This weekend I attended a friend's grand opening of their 3rd neighborhood restaurant. The place is decorated with all the comforts that give you the feeling of never wanting to leave...cozy fireplace, comfortable bar, and plenty of whimsical art to admire. When we got home from the amazing night, it had me thinking....What makes the perfect neighborhood restaurant? 1. Food and cocktails. This should be without saying, but just in case. 2. Place where they know your name
