Dinner Under the Stars

As we all know, one of my favorite places to go in the summer is Annapolis.  And it's mostly because they decide to do fun things like shut down an entire street so all the restaurants can have open-air seating in the evening.  That's what Dinner Under the Stars is and that's why Annapolis is awesome!

Each Wednesday for the next two months, a block of West Street in downtown Annapolis will be closed to cars so that people can come sit outside and enjoy their meals in the beautiful late summer weather.  There's a band playing and people are dancing.  There are fairy lights strewn all over the place, and tons of people laughing and eating and drinking.  

After attending this evening, I've decided it's now my goal to try every restaurant on the street before this program ends.  Tonight's dinner - our first and definitely not our last - for my friend and I was from Luna Blu - an Italian restaurant with a huge selection of yumminess.  They were offering a 4 course menu for $38 which was a great deal when you think about how much food we had - Antipasti (Burata Crostini with tomatoes and speck), Salad (Caesar), Pasta (Penne Vesuviana), and Dessert (Chocolate Mousse.)  On top of all that, we could have purchased half-price bottles of wine too, but we chose to go with iced tea.  

All in all, I had a fantastic time and I can't wait to go back again!
