Bluffs, Dinner, Then West Side Dark

Why this works

Pincushion is a real hike — not brutal, but enough that you'll both feel it — and arriving at Salted Brick a little wind-worn and hungry makes the food land differently. The intimacy of Salted Brick's room does the reset, moving the date from physical to slow and close. Kalamoir after dark is the kind of place that doesn't need explaining when you get there.
