Virtu Honest Craft

This place is so super charming.  Attached to the Bespoke Inn this small restaurant has a frequently changing menu that is sure to please the foodiest of foodies.  Is foodiest a word? I think not, but you get what I mean here right?

FnB

FNB is located near the water front district, so be sure to go on a romantic stroll of the canal after dinner!  Also don't forget to make a reservation, even on a regular week day, this place gets busy. We were lucky to get the last bar seats without a reservation on our visit.  Interesting tidbit: I asked the bartender about the name and he said it stands for Food 'n Beverage.

The House Brasserie

If you go here for a special occasion such as an anniversary, let them know when you make your reservation and they'll try and get you into this really cute table by the fireplace!  The House has a great patio that is perfect for dates and for group dinners where you're looking to impress.

Grazie Pizza and Wine Bar

One of my favorite little hidden gems of Old Town.  I'm not sure why, but people don't seem to know about it.  Order a bottle (or by the glass too) of wine and a pizza or pasta and soak in the romance.  Warm and inviting on the inside and lots of outdoor seating as well both on the front and side.  I have hosted two bookclub nights here and it's tough to beat the atmosphere and friendly faces.

Cafe Monarch

Cafe Monarch Website
Cafe Monarch is the only restaurant on the list I have not personally dined in.  I know however this list would be remiss if I left it off.  I've seen this restaurant mentioned in National publications and everyone I know who's been speaks highly of it.  I have of course walked by it, and it looks very charming!

Material's I used:
  • Rustoleum's Tub & Tile kit for $25 off of Amazon
     *note I did find they sell a similar kit at Lowe's in the caulk aisle but it's more expensive and         a brand I was unfamiliar with
  • 4" foam roller 
     * you'll want to purchase at least 3 replacement foam rollers they disintegrated each time I           put a  new coat on
  • foam brushes
  • painters tape
  • face mask *you'll notice in the video I switch from the sort of face mask you might see people wearing on airplanes to a respirator.  This stuff is very strong so be careful with it.
  • gloves
  • paint stirrer
  • sand paper

Also the really cute llama shower curtain came from TJ Maxx
