Maybe this happens to everyone...but I swear the same rabbit follows me everywhere I go...there is a bunny who always gives me the side eye in my backyard...and there is one when I am in Cape May. I swear...the bunny found me when I was in San Diego. Or maybe it is just because I am paying more attention that I seem to notice them. Either way...rabbit sightings have become a thing. So I knew a few months back when I saw that a new pub like place was opening called White Rabbit Gastropub I was going to have to make my way there. Sometimes...you just have a feeling.
You can learn a lot about a place when you are out and about on your own. There are lots of things that go into the evaluation of whether or not you will go back again...the beer selection is important...the vibe of the place...the music playing...but above all else...it is about the people. In the spirit of doing the things I want to do, regardless of whether or not I have someone to do them with, I have become quite comfortable walking into places on my own. It gets easier and I do find that there are a few things make it less traumatic for my introverted self....so I am not always the strange girl at the bar scribbling into her notebook. Talking about music, soccer, and/or beer are ways that I do actually initiate conversations...but it does take people around you who aim to be inclusive.
Such was the case on my solo beer adventure this past Tuesday to White Rabbit Gastropub...after finally finding the rabbit hole...I was instantly at home. I found my way to the second level bar...picked a stool...and had a fun night of good beer and conversation. I was instantly pulled into the chatter happening around the bar and never once felt awkward or out of place. It was all so easy...and clear that you find the places that you are meant to find. Plus, they let me keep a pen...so you know...since I love to write...this was a thing.
I'm going to keep following my hunches and enjoy the rabbit holes I decide to wander down...I'm definitely on the road to somewhere...and for once...I'm not going to rush...I'm just going to enjoy the breadcrumbs that are leading me forward to the things that matter.
