The Saint and Stumbling Monk

Yes, I've written about them before. But in case you're just joining us...

The Saint! The Saint! A beautiful decor, charming waitstaff, beautiful food, inventive and incredible drinks, and happy hour from 5-7 (not 5-6 as currently posted on their website) makes this place a wonderful escape from the gray days.

I'm a big fan. Happy hour is 1/2 off their (small yet well chosen) food menu (which includes Carne Asada, Enchiladas and more).

A group of us made our way to The Stumbling Monk a few nights ago, with the intention of playing some board games and drinking some beer. I was thrilled not only by the hoegaarden on tap but it's modest price. This place has a wide selection of great beers, unassuming laid back staff with plenty of booths and tables to kick back and chill with some friends.

We tried our luck at playing our made up version of the "Survivor" TV show themed game. The winning guesser of each riddle card won a prize token (ranging from water bottles to rice to maps). At the end of the game, each player had to argue why they were the best survivor based on the token prizes they had accumulated. I was sad that my argument of having 2 treasure chests I was willing to split amongst the group, while I provided a tool to kill small animals and rice to accompany our meal was beaten out by Georgia's argument that somehow promised a hot-tubbing session for all. Well, you can't beat that.
