Dinner and Kareoke?

This past weekend was packed with fun activities and beat the heat options for the rainy month of September. It started off at Xitomates at their new location a block up from Las Palomas. This is a stellar place to have a nice dinner with good friends or a significant other. It's wonderfully appointed with mood lighting, quality air-conditioners and exquisite decor. The service, menu selections and food are all excellent and worth the slightly higher prices. I can recommend the coconut shrimp appetizer and the seafood linguini main heartily as both were delicious and beautifully presented. If you want a sinful dessert try the chocolate mousse and go directly to heaven! Fantastique!!

Maybe your ready for some action after a sedate dinner? Try La Regadera (Kareoke bar) even if you don't want to get up and sing. It's across the street from Xitomates and offers quite an entertaining selection of "wannabes" crooning every kind of song possible. It ranges from the truly horrible to the odd unexpected talent but you can be assured it's never dull. They offer both English and Spanish song slections and since the stage is designed like a giant shower, with a lot of imagination, you can feel right at home singing your fave tunes. It's a popular place and stays open late so you can get your yah yahs out.
