Last Christmas, my family went to Universal Studios. Just down from the (over)populated area of Harry Potter-dom was the “undersea” adventure Poseidon’s Fury. We trekked back and forth past it all day as we hit up the better-known attractions. Finally, after exhausting all the other options, we stopped by.
It turned out to be one of our favorite experiences of the day.
Some of my other favorite things include good food and drink and good deals. My recent visit to Marco’s Italian Bistro on Frazier Avenue provided all three. And, like my stop at Poseidon’s Fury, was long overdue. There’s no telling how many times I’ve driven past the unassuming corner restaurant marked really only by its small roadside patio.
