I decided to try something new for lunch today, since the cold weather has been wearing on ability to get to the City safely.

I chose the new restaurant, PINKS CANTINA.  Located in back of Starbucks the shop is brightl, cheerful and Alex the proprietor is most welcoming.

The restaurant is bright, cheerful and seats about 12 persons comfortably, The menu above the counter is clear and easy to understand, It is easy to use tbe monitor to choose your items and pay for your dinner.

The Menu Board closeup

After you place your order the server puts a ping pong type ball in a tube and it proceeds thru a tube around the walls and ends up on a Cantinko board (sort of Pancinko board) where it lands on different gifts, you get at  your next visit. This reminds me of pneumatic tubes of the olden days and the modern AVAC tubes.

Stop by for a delicious meal and enjoy the fun atmospher for kids and adults.
