Fresh off the first ever Tour de Ponce I began to imagine what a Tour de Ponce (Decatur) might look like. It would definitely have less transvestites and smoking and more kids and delicious beer. It should be said that the purpose of the Tour is to test endurance, to hang with friends and to hit many bars (some that you'd never otherwise go to). It is not beer focused, though it could be tailored to DSBC's (dare I say) very discerning tastes.
I think it would start at the Angel (whoops, The Grange) and head east. Stage 2 could be at Taqueria for some margaritas or at Watershed. And already you begin to see one issue with the Decatur Tour; it's a lot of restaurants that happen to serve expensive, but, delicious drinks. In laying out the tour I've decided to take the cheap, loud, and obnoxious route. So stage 2, Taqueria. Stage 3, Mellow Mushroom and Stage 4 Taco Mac. Is there a Sushi Avenue I might have skipped? Then we have Chocolate Bar or Ted's and then past Ruby Tuesday's and on to everyone's favorite, the Brickstore. I think we could head into the square to include Birdi's and Raging Burrito unless you think those are on Church. Finally we hit Leon's.
Part of the trouble of sticking to Ponce is that we exclude a lot of other places, like Twain's, Java Monkey, Eddie's Attic, Depeaux, Care Diem, and we include a lot of places that we all know pretty well already. I'd like to hear from other readers (read, DSBC members and family) what places we might be overlooking and what you think should be included.
what about a Tour deCatur, and start at the Grange, to Taqueria, Taco Mac, BSP, Leon's, then down to the Rager, Twain's, Depeaux, and finish up with cosmos at Carpe Diem. Too bad Trackside and Fifth Earl both closed.
