September 13, 2006

On September 13 (mark your calendars now for next year) we had the pleasure of celebrating the birthday of Cafe Drake's proprietor and the 13th month anniversary of the opening of the Cafe D. website. Joined by close and dear friends, the evening was a blast, beginning with Kir Royales and present-opening at Cafe Drake, followed by dinner at the ultra-cozy d.o.c. wine bar and trattoria, and capped with drinks surrounded by giant movie screens at MonkeyTown (showing, appropriate to the style and elegance of the occasion, La Dolce Vita). Above are a few photos documenting this special night's splendor. Heartfelt thanks to all in attendance, and thanks to all who couldn't make it but sent kind wishes. Finally, gratitude is due to the visitors to this website, so many we've yet to meet, but whose comments and suggestions bolster us every day.
