My Birthday Night Out

Although my birthday was Monday, Jan 3rd, it was easier to plan a night out for the 8th, b/c the previous Saturday would likely have resulted in hungover friends, or friends who were burnt out from the holidays.  So, I was happy to have the 7 day break. 
A group of us headed to Cuscina Spinasse in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle.  This little, and I mean tiny, restaurant is just blocks from my old apartment on Cap Hill.  As much as I love West Seattle, I do really love my old 'hood of Cap Hill. 
The food was amazing, excellent service, and I would for sure go back!!
The plan was to go to my fav wine bar, Poco Wine Room, but they were PACKED when we got there.  Good for them, sad for us.  We walked back over to the area Spinasse is in to try another tiny bar, Meza.  They were packed as well.  Sadly, Aydan and her lovely mom were tired and wanted to head home.
I love them for coming out to celebrate and so much look forward to getting to know her mom more in the next few months.
Me, Lisa, Lori and Susan stayed at Meza for some Sangria and a birthday dessert.  One fun unexpected thing of the night was that Meza is so tiny, the entire restaurant sang Happy Birthday to me!  HAAA!  Made my night! 
It was a wonderful night and I appreciate those who made it out.  I have several close friends who had confilcts and could not make it, and I will celebrate with them soon!   Enjoy the pics to follow this post!
