Fun Three-Day Weekend

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Sandy

Bartender Paul returned from Philly, not NY, to spend five days in
Sonoma County. Remember him? Many tattoos. Mixed a mean drink, played a mean guitar. Not mean. All his fans came to town to see him behind the bar again Saturday night–while the 49ers beat the Saints and Tudo Bem played out on the heated patio. Were the fans cheering for the Niners or Paul? What an exciting game! Can they beat the Giants next week? The steamed clams were drippingly delicious, the Caesar just garlicky enough. The Lowbrau pizza as good as usual. And Tudo Bem very smooth, very cool, so listenable. Guitar, keyboards, drums–just enough to make great music for a nice crowd.  They’ll be back, and maybe Paul will visit again, too. PA weather can’t compare to Sonoma County and The River, can it? Check out yelp.com for great reviews of the Rio Nido Roadhouse.
