This morning, at the reasonable hour of nine a.m., Terry and I tried to go to the air show on Coronado Island. As we were rolling down hwy. 5 we noticed that there was at least 4 miles of cars backed up. Everyone in San Diego seemed to have the same idea we had about getting to the air show early. So, out of necessity, we decided to change our plans. We decided to park in Little Italy, walk to the water front, and watch the planes pass over the Broadway Pier.
After our afternoon of sitting in the sun we decided to go to take a quick walk up the road to the corner of Beech St. and Kentner. We had passed by Craft and Commerce many times before, so today we decided to pop in for a cocktail and a bite to eat. We shared the salmon B.L.T. and oh my were we pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be delicious, but I never imagined that my taste-buds would joyfully explode with each bite. The buttery salmon and bacon were complemented perfectly by the olive loaf bread, avocado, and fresh arugula. In a word, it was YUMMY!
If you are the sort that likes a refreshing cocktail or an interesting microbrew Craft and Commerce is the ultimate space for drinks. It is not so much a bar as it is a new age lounge with an airy elegance. I had a Cry Baby Cry which is a mixture of hard apple cider, champagne, and ginger. Terry had a glass of Old Viscosity which is a microbrew infused with chocolate and coffee essence. Both were just what we needed to relax, enjoy the moment, and one another. Kudos to the bartender.
All in all it was the perfect start to our Valentine's Day weekend.
