Oeno closed last week after ten years of business. It made us so sad because it’s our favorite place for salsa and Latin dancing. <\/p>\n

Well, we used to go to Suede. I remember when we used to go there religiously on Friday nights<\/a>, even when it’s cold and snowing outside. That was our regular Friday night thing. <\/p>\n

Then Suede closed and there wasn’t a fun place for us to go for dancing (at least the type of dancing we enjoy). That is, until we discovered Oeno. Naturally, we had to go on the final night. We didn’t care if it was just the two of us. We had to go to close out this chapter. <\/p>\n

Whenever we are at Oeno, we usually get the lavash. <\/p>\n

We also like their charcuterie (meat and cheese board). <\/p>\n

They were doing 50% OFF bottles of wine that night and discounted wines by the glass but Brian couldn’t drink (he can’t drink for a few more days – until after his follow up appointment with the doctor) so I ended up getting a pitcher of sangria. I don’t usually drink entire bottles of wine but I’ve been known to put away pitchers of sangria without remorse. LOL. <\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s not as fun drinking by yourself. And, Brian gave me a look of disapproval each time he refilled my glass. I was hoping some of our friends would show up and help me finish the pitcher but everyone else either already had plans or they were too tired to come out. Christmas shopping and preparing for Christmas in general can take a lot out of you so it’s completely understandable. <\/p>\n

At least Hideki and Amy came by. They were down the street, having dinner at the Anchor. And then they had a show at Public. They stopped by for a bit, though. <\/p>\n

The rest of the sangria did not go to waste! <\/p>\n

Here’s the four of us on the very last night of Oeno being open. It was so very sad. <\/p>\n
