Falling for the City

Is it possible to fall any deeper in love with this city?

During an eventful Sunday at uptown’s Ale House, Rian & I promised a group of Ale House regulars (&& our new favorite waiter) that we’d return for Monday Night Football. And so we did. We met uptown on Monday… determined to follow through. 

As I’ve mentioned before, we are dedicated to expanding our sports bar horizons. Ale House is definitely one for the blogs. Listen: Two levels, great service, TVs galore, && honey BBQ wings that will make you have a baby.

I mean, just take a look at this:

So we were happy to return for Monday night’s game. And though we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, we were tired from the day && only stuck it out until halftime—just long enough to feel confident about an impending Dolphins loss. :) Yet as we left Ale House, ready to turn in, we quickly came up with a much more interesting end to the night: a quest for a rooftop overlooking the city. Just for fun.

We took off. A cool dude outside of the Omni hipped us to a structure over on 4^th && we figured, why not? “You Only Live Once” allowed us to ignore the fact that our heels would have to carry us back to our cars at the end of the trek.

As we got closer to our destination we spotted this area:

It reminded me of West 4^th in New York && other areas of The Village. We spotted a shop labeled "Tattoo" && another labeled "Pub." && in our heels, we ran!

Our click clacks led us to the Belfast Mill—a poppin’ little bar which recently expanded to 2 floors. Located in the Latta Arcade, the whole area is an inconspicuous gem of a strip. Shout out to the bartender, Aimee for giving us the #skinnTy.

…&& a buttery nipple:

 

We threw back a shot && left to continue on our rooftop hunt. But yet again, something special caught our eye.

The Romare Bearden Park:

&& after an impromptu photoshoot… we finally found it:

Always falling for you, QC.

Long nights && sweet dreams,

Xoxo,
