Our friends recently got engaged and we'd like to take them out sometime this week to toast their engagement and maybe get some apps. We'd probably like to meet someplace downtown as they live on the way west side and we live on the way east side but we all work in the city.
I thought about maybe making up a picnic basket with some snacks and buying a bottle of bubbly and going to a park, but I don't think you're allowed to bring alcohol into the city parks.
I never go to restaurants / parks/ bars downtown, so I don't know where to go. I'd love someplace that's cute, with the possibility of sitting outside with a nice view and perhaps the ability to get some champagne - oh yeah, and isn't ridiculously expensive. Suggestions? Is Triphammers by the waterfall still a restaurant that's open?
Re: Roc - rec a downtown place to meet / drinks
I think Triphammer's is closed, or will be shortly (?). When DH got his masters, we took his parents to Virtu, which has a patio right along the river with a great view of the Freddie Sue bridge. I think it would be a great spot for drinks/apps. The food was yummy and the service was good.
