After havdala we met up with Held and Evi, both of whom are visiting for Winter vacation, and went out to town to search out some interesting eating experiences. We started off at Ethio-Israel, the Ethiopian restaurant we've been to before, but they were - no joke - out of food. Our next stop was O'Connell's, a bar that came to us recommended.
A business that Jon has always wanted to see established is a bar with kosher bar-food, but no city outside of New York really has the type of population needed for such a venture. O'Connell's is exactly what he has been looking for - an Irish pub with a menu overflowing with meat. We each ordered a beer (which comes by the liter, not the pint), and shared an order of chicken wings, onion rings, and a platter of mixed meats and dipping sauces. Fantastic. We plan to go back at the soonest opportunity.
Not entirely satisfied, Jon and Held convinced Rina that the next stop had to be Burgers Bar, a standard Israeli joint that Jon has never tried. While the meat and grease hit the spot, the experience was not what it had been built up to be, especially following the dream-come-true that was O'Connell's. After a quick meeting with Moishe and Zvi Jesin, we headed home at a reasonable 2 am. Fun!
