Hit the chocolate bar at the Pen again with some girlfriends. Love, love, love it! Was sad that they did not have the crepe station this time, but what we did have was lovely. My friend spotted a bottle of Creme Yvette at the bar and asked if I'd ever had it. I had not so gave it a try. The bartender said it is mostly a mixer - very fragrant - but I would totally sip it by itself. Mmmm. And then we talked the sommelier into giving us a flight of port and tawny - delightful!

I have always loved this design firms treatment of the stairwell inside the historic building. I cannot remember why they told me that they can't expose the actual staircase, but putting the photo of the stairwell on these moving doors is genius! This is a true Louis Sullivan staircase. Isn't it lovely?
And what trip downtown wouldn't be complete with a trip to Sweet Bliss bakery for some amazing cupcakes?
