It may be an unofficial pie holiday today, but I am officially already excited for next Friday's off Soif shindig here at The J. More booze than was had at my 8th birthday party, but just as much fun, guaranteed.

Come hang with me and pals from starting at 5pm.

Tonight's menu.

Friday nights aren't complicated around here. We just want to be a place where you can get a nourishing plate of food--some veggies, something cheesy and carby, a slice of pie--and a really good martini, or a glass of wine.

Come solo or with some pals. Grab one of the new bar seats at the window or cozy up in a booth.

I made you chocolate ice cream and there are yellow roses in candlelight on the tables. Romance isn't dead.

Xo,
Dinah
