We walked over from the East Side to a live concert performed by string players from the American Symphony Orchestra, only for it to be canceled due to rain. I reviewed their string quartet here in 2021 — marvelous music-making indeed. Making the best of things, we entered the Grill for an early dinner.
Here’s a view of the restaurant’s entry and outdoor seating.

We each had a delicious cappuccino but drank it before we could take a photo. After all, it’s best when hot, especially on this rainy evening.
