The intersection of art and food

Last night was a really great night.  I had seen that Chihuly was having an exhibit at the MFA so Ben and I went over there after work.  Chihuly makes sculptures out of hand blown glass: the exhibit was awesome!  It felt like being in a Dr. Seuss-candy-bowl-in-Wonderland.

At a parent conference this week, a mother said her daughter saw this sculpture and said it was like kelp! (We're doing our Tide Pool unit right and learned about sea weed!)

Afterwards we wandered around looking for someplace to eat.  We stumbled upon Darryl's Corner Bar.  The sign read "The intersection of food, friends and music."  Perfect!  Except when we walked in around 7:00 the hostess asked if we had a reservation.  We gave each other a glance, debated whether to wait the 45 minutes for a table when the manager intervened.  He said, "Are you going to stay for the music or just eat?  I don't want to turn away hungry people!"  So he let us sit and we had a great meal!  We caught the beginning of the first jazz set and definitely plan to go back.  If not only for the food and music but because the manager was so nice to squeeze us in!  


You should check out both places soon!
