Relaxing at the River Grille in Monroe, Louisiana

After the Grambling game, I drove back to Monroe to have dinner at the River Grille with my homeboy Vitus Shell, who is a graphic designer and hip-hop promoter in Monroe. The River Grille is a relatively new restaurant, located in north Monroe near the junction of Bayou Desiard with the Oauchita River. It’s a fairly small place, with a neighborhood bar-and-grill feel, but it features great food and a beautiful view of the water. You can like them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-River-Grille/259318470777820.

Zaza Wood Oven Pizzas and Salads has come to Conway from Little Rock, and has some of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. In addition, they feature homemade gelato. Visit http://www.zazapizzaandsalad.com/ for menus and info. 

Austin seems like the perfect city in some ways, and the only thing better would be if it were on the water. Well, it is, sort of. Lake Austin, a man-made reservoir sits just to the west of downtown, and there is a marina, a coffee bar and a couple of restaurants, including the Hula Hut, a rather bizarre Mexican/Hawaiian fusion restaurant. The sun setting over the lake makes for a lovely dinner setting.
