Every so often Becky and I splurge on a night out in the city. We don’t spend a ridiculous amount of money, but certainly a bit more than we would going to Taco Bell and renting a video (nothing wrong with that either, mind you).

Last night we went to ***Pho Pasteur|http://www.weseatyou.com/restaurants/704/infotomhazen/www/Dunster/index.htm*** in Harvard Square. A Vietnamese restaurant, Pho Pasteur is one of our favorite dining spots. The prices are fairly reasonable, and the food is different and lighter than the usual Asian fare. We had the “Goi Cuon” as an appetizer – pork and veggies wrapped in a chewy rice roll. I had the “Com Chien” (Vietnamese fried rice with shrimp, pork, chicken, eggs, and mixed veggies) as my entree, and Becky had, I think, the “Hu Tieu Xao” (Stir fried flat rice noodles with sliced chicken, red and green peppers, onions, broccoli, green beans and snow peas). Yum.

After dinner we went to hear ***Mike DiBari|http://www.mikedibari.com/index.asp*** at his regular Friday night gig at the Oceana Restaurant in the ***Boston Marriott Long Wharf|http://marriott.com/property/propertyPage.mi?marshaCode=BOSLW***. It was his two-year anniversary of his regular gig there, so we came out in support to listen to his music, have some dessert, and relax. Mike’s trio, for those who don’t know, provided the music at our wedding reception and is really fantastic.

No photos from last night, but be sure to keep checking out the recently-renamed ***World Wide Photography|http://gallery.prwdot.org/***, including the ***grab bag|http://gallery.prwdot.org/grab_bag***, which I add to periodically with random photos from here and there.
