Places # 4 - Marty's and Restaurant #3 - Angels

Our new friend Karen from the bookclub invited us out last night to meet a bunch of her friends at a cozy place in the Andersonville neighborhood called Marty's Wine and Martini Bar. Open now for about a year, everyone seemed to know each other in this small but very comfortable establishment. After a few drinks and lots of laughs the group wobbled across the street to Angel's, a cost -effective Mexican restaurant with great backyard seating. The temperate weather made it a great place to close out the evening. Susan was invited out to golf with several of the group this Saturday after which we will all meet up for the Old Town Folk and Roots Festival, an annual muic, dance, and culture fest sponsored by the place where Susan has been taking lessons and held in a park where she used to ice skate as a kid.
