If you only had three places to take a visitor in one night, where would you take them?

Blue Bird Bistro for eclectic organic regional produce and meat. They hold meet and greets with farmers and serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Also they’re very accommodating if you have food allergies. New Theatre Restaurant has wonderful dinners with Broadway-style comedies and musicals. Pinache Chocolatier on the Country Club Plaza. We’d stroll through the Plaza nibbling chocolate.
