Challenge #2 - What constitutes a "restaurant"

Gelateria?  Deli?  Bakery?

All great food.....but do these count as restaurants or even "Eateries?"

Coffee shops?

What a about Bars?

This has been a topic of sometimes animated discussion between us.  Friends and family have chimed in.  Mel says it has to have seating.   I say bakeries count (mainly because I like Cannoli, and Mel wouldn't normally allow me to eat it).

But in the end, we will choose what we choose and, by God, come Hell or high water, maybe, just maybe we'll stick to that decision.

To be honest, I have a feeling this might be a fluid list.  Personally, I say, if they serve food, we will include it.  I also have a feeling that even if they don't serve food, but only drinks....we may include it, too.

So, I would imagine that if we went to a bar, within the agreed upon boundaries...it might get mention in this blog...(Pop's Blue Moon, I'm looking at you).

Thoughts?  Comments?  Suggestions?  Recommendations for the best Cannoli on The Hill?
