The Paragon
Jan 30th, 2007 by jenzug
Last night Larah and I went to The Paragon in downtown San Jose, a sleek lounge with clean lines and simple design. Their specialty is their extensive vodka bar, and I tried their Chocolate Martini which contained vanilla vodka and dutch chocolate creme. It was a yummy, smooth drink, but a bit sweet for my taste. For it to be my ‘gotta-have’ drink, I prefer the taste of dark espresso and bitter chocolates. We shared a bread pudding, though, and it was TO DIE FOR. It contained warm bananas and walnuts and some sort of liquor sauce.

Be warned: what you see here is not my best work. It is what Anne Lamott describes in Bird By Bird as a series of “shitty first drafts.” Blogging dragged me kicking and screaming out of creative constipation by getting me to actually write. So I do that. A lot. Without worrying about every word choice or comma placement.

The chocolate martini sounds like my kind of drink. And Jen… I do believe this comment will post! (I am at work so the problem has to be with my home computer).
Oh, Paragon…we have one here in Portland, too. Jeffrey and I used to go there a lot when we were first dating (my good friend was dating one of the bartenders at the time=cheap drinks!). We had some really good times there and even two of my birthdays, now that I think of it…I LOVED their mojitos.
