Yummy Bakery Nouveau

April 3, 2007 by 1 Comment

I’m very pleased to introduce, Natalie.  This is her first contribution to Beach Drive Blog.

We are fortunate to have a new,  authentic French bakery up on the hill called Bakery Nouveau!  Chocolate, Pastry & Bread!!  David & I tried the ham & cheese baguette, turkey & havarti croissant, pepperoni pizza and a brownie. Everything was delicious and my next trip will be for some brioche.  If you are looking to wow someone on Easter, they have beautiful handmade chocolate Easter eggs filled with chocolates.  Although I was sad to see Borracchini’s leave, the treats at Bakery Nouveau are just what us West Siders needed!

Check out Chuck’s comments on his recent experience at Beato.    I wish I could figure out how to have the Comment Section on Beach Drive Blog show at least a "teaser" portion…if anyone out there is an expert with Typepad blogs (the platform that I’m using for BDB), please let me know.    Since we currently don’t have teaser comments…I’ll give you a little tease from Chuck’s review:

"I would definitely save room for the chocolate ravioli….The wine list is excellent…."

The Comment Section is on the left, just under where you can subscribe to email updates from BDB.   

If you click on the link that has the title the post, it will take you to that post and  you can read the commentary from readers.   And by the way, blogs love to have comments so, as Bob says, don’t be bashful!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Dsc_0347_2Okay…he’s not a Leprechaun (he is wearing green pants)…and I did spy him on Beach Drive in a neighbor’s yard.   And I’m sure he’s good luck for us on this St. Patrick’s Day.

St. Patty’s Day  officially begins in West Seattle at Celtic Swell on March 16th at 10:00 p.m.   A pint of Guinness anyone?

Don’t miss the Irish Heritage Club Annual St. Patrick’s Day parade beginning at 12:30 on Saturday along 4th Avenue in Seattle. 

May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.

Art Show at Endolyne Joe’s

March 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Explorer West Middle School is featuring an exhibit of ceramic masks based on Mexican mask design at Endolyne Joe’s.    I understand some of the art is even available for purchase!   The show runs from March 15 – June 12, 2007.

Do you have information about a school event?  I’m happy to post it on BDB…and even happier if you would like to post it (wink wink).   Just send me an email.

February 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment

I don’t go to The Charlestown very often…I’m not sure why.   Now that it may be closing…I’m tempted to go there (kind of like driving dow the viaduct).    I do know it’s been a gathering spot in West Seattle for ions.   To read more…click here.

Not Something to Cheer About

February 14, 2007 by Leave a Comment

I was reading the West Seattle Blog this morning and learned that one of our family’s favorite restaurants,  Guadalajara Hacienda on California Avenue, will be closing this weekend.   To read more…click here.   Adios Amigos. 

Update:  February 16, 2007 at 7:14 p.m.   Our family just returned from a "farewell dinner" at Guadalajara.   It turns out that they did not sell the property, they lost their lease.  They hope to reopen in the neighborhood soon.

Do You Have Plans for Dinner Tonight?

February 5, 2007 by 2 Comments

A neighbor just called to let us know that The Homestead Restaurant features a community night on the first Friday Monday of each month from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.  They offer specially pricing on dinners and according to Larry, it’s a nice way to meet your neighbors.   

Unfortunately for us, I had all ready made stuffed peppers for dinner.   Maybe next time!   I’ve been itching to try their famous fried chicken.
