I love fries. The Taiwanese genes in me were geared to love fried foods. I love my Yelp app as much as I love fries… So when I saw that there was a Belgian Fries joint pretty close to Crif Dogs, we walked over to kill some time before our reservation time at PDT.
Pommes Frites was pretty easy to find and only about a 3 minute walk away. It had a super small store front and a small area inside. I felt like a kid in a candy store with the various options for sauces. I like how the starchy fries are par-fried and then re-fried at a higher temperature to really crisp them up.
We selected the mango chutney and the truffled mayo.
The fries were piping hot and absolutely delicious!
Post hot dog and post fries, we waddled our way back to Crif Dogs to catch our reservation at PDT. Please Don’t Tell is an awesome speakeasy bar accessed only through the telephone booth in Crif Dogs.
We went in there, dialed the phone and the door “wall” opened up as a door into the actual bar. Reservations are needed for this place and they start taking them at 3PM everyday. So get ready to start dialing!!
The lounge area was awesome and the drinks were plentiful. We got two seats at the bar and watched them work their magic.
Sam got some sort of awesome yummy drink and they made up a fruity mocktail for me.
I got an awesome guava/almond syrup/citrus drinks.
After PDT, we walked down to another speakeasy called Angel’s Share. It is hidden in a yakitori restaurant behind a very plain door. They don’t take reservations, and don’t accomodate parties of 4+. We were lucky to snag seats at the counter right in front of master mixologist, Shingo!
The menu was fairly extensive and Hubs picked out a drink to try. They handchipped the ice and it was served up with a sprig of roasted thyme. I told Shingo that I liked fruity drinks; tropical or peachy. He whipped up awhite peach infused drink that he froze so it was a slushy and topped it with marscapone/yogurt foam. It was amazing.
After we finished, we wandered back out to Village Yokocho where the smells tempted and taunted me. We sat down and proceeded to stuff our faces. I love yakitori… and the prices here were super reasonable and I had one of the best fried ika geso dishes I’ve ever tasted.
We also got lots of yummy grilled things on a stick… Gizzards turned out to be a huge hit.
Village Yokocho was also open until 3AM… Out west cost time stomachs were happy to find an awesome meal at such a random hour. 
We waddled back to our hotel fat and happy.
