our first local spot

We are lucky to live in a neighborhood with amazing access to some delicious restaurants. Hands-down our favorite go-to has been Hopgood's Foodliner. We live 100 steps from their front door and it has proven such a lovely spot for special dinners, an impressive place to take out-of-towners or a faithful fallback for last minute date nights. They have, in my opinion, the friendliest staff in the city and the tastiest food. 

We received word recently that they're closing their doors for the head chef to move onto other personal endeavors and made sure to book a few last reservations. It was one of the first places where the staff recognized us and we felt like locals, welcoming us with a friendly "Hey you two".... 

We will really miss this place!
