I Love Tuesdays

I always look forward to Tuesdays.  It's the day I get together with my son for lunch, and we have some time to share what's going on with each other. Sometimes we head for our favorite standbys, but today we tried a new place, the Second Street Bar + Kitchen. It is on the street level inside the Austonian at the corner of Congress and, you guessed it, 2nd Street.  It turned out to be a nice surprise. It's not inexpensive, but I really enjoyed the food.  We tried the black truffle pommes frites and chicken fried olives for appetizers and were not disappointed. 

                                 The restaurant has a nice feel to it with a modern vibe.  If you are eating solo,
                                 the bar is a nice option.

                                  These mouthwatering sliders were a good choice, but one was enough for me.

                                                 A beautiful shrimp salad with blue cheese and bacon.

                                        The upstairs patio gives you a bird's eye view of the Second Street shops
                                        and lunch crowd. Come to think of it, this would be a fun place for
                                        happy hour.
