Living in a marina has more than its share of perks,
as I mentioned in my last blog post.
Getting to know people who know the system, as it were, helps to make
eating out an inexpensive proposition.
Shortly after we got here, we found out that on
Monday nights, a local pizza joint offers large pizzas for $6.00. On Tuesday's (and through the rest of the
weekdays), Annie's Restaurant has free food for their happy hours. If you can nurse a watered down Coke as well
as I can, you can get away with a satisfying meal for just a few bucks.
On Wednesday nights, Red Eye's Dock Bar offers $6
burgers (though I just got the news tonight that they are only open starting on
Thursdays for the cooler seasons) and they are a huge 1/3 pound of meat; of
course, I don't eat red meat, but the boys love them. For me, their Rachel Reuben has no equal and
they also have other great sandwich offerings.
Thursdays can take you right back to Annie's for
chicken wings and other bar/happy hour food, and then Friday, Red Eye's puts
out a buffet-style meal of a main dish and a salad.
Tonight it was beef tacos with a great green
salad and Spanish rice. Elliott and I
ate two platefuls each, had a soda and an iced tea for just $6.00. With a raucous game of cornhole afterwards, it was a great evening, even though Elliott won (just barely).
So, even though cooking on board is your best bet,
the restaurants around here know how to take care of the local folks. Cheers!
