We had wandered around the neighborhood and saw several large buildings within a theater complex. These building appeared to be brand new but in the back was a restaurant that seemed to be a holdover from bygone days. It was called A Gina and we looked it up on the interweb when we got back. We liked it so much that we canceled the Wednesday lunch that we had planned and replaced it with a lunch here on Thursday. We were glad that we did the swap since the food here was fantastico! Leslie ordered a veal scallopini and I ordered a veal shank. She had five nice medallions of veal on a huge plate with fries and a small salad and I got a humongous hunk of meat bigger than my head. The menu stated that the veal shank was 2 kg which is 4.4 pounds. This may seem like a huge amount of meat but really it was much more! It was Thursday's lunch and dinner and Fridays lunch and dinner as well. I am stuffed. The meat was so tender and flavorful that I would willingly eat it again for Saturday but we will be on a plane to Italy and I the shank would exceed the carry on size
During our morning tea we heard the sounds of a field trip
Stairs was the theme of this building, stairs in silhouette here
The bottoms of stairs here
More stairs!
Huge doors that open up as well as a garage type door on the right
Empty but not for long
Greenery on the walls
How it looked in the olden days
A funky cool vibe
Signature water
The beast has arrived at the table!
This would have fed us both
This would have fed an entire family
Some damage was inflicted
Waddling out past the phonebooth
We wanted to ride a trolly so we took off walking
This one has no line...
But here is where the line was and it was just as long out of the frame.
So we pretended to ride insteaad
Took a few new paths home
It was really heating up
It was 86 degrees and we decided to call it a day
Love the details
On our walk we came across this worker
Chipping stones to the needed size
and placing them in the proper position
All of the sidewalks were made this way
Stone by stone
