November Challenge - 15/30
"I think there's a shisha place nearby."
A shisha bar? In suburbia? Olive Grove, you tapestried Unicorn, you DO exist! I can't believe I've never been inside. I've lived close by for so long, but resisted going inside because someone I know told me that the pizza was nothing to write home about.
Then, I realized that this is also someone that willingly listens to Creed, so their argument for this place is invalid. Also, I wasn't nearly as interested in their pizza as I was in their shisha. Shisha! In the suburbs! No longer do I have to trek downtown to somewhere where the smoke tastes ashy after two tokes, the cushions are suspect, the staff is surly and the music is being blasted on speakers that saw their best days 10 years ago when they blew out.
Olive Grove is clean, spacious, EMPTY on a Wednesday evening; with beautiful artwork surrounding you and the service is excellent and incredibly friendly. Relax with your hookah, while a cross stich of an old man toking up and having his tea and pizza overlooks you.
Open until 11 on a weekday, late on the weekends; I really appreciate that there is somewhere close by where I can grab Falafel and Shisha, then stumble home if I want to. Will have to come back and try their food! According to the server, they are very vegan friendly.
Bonus points for running after me and giving me back my Yelp glove that I left on the couch.
