Bargain Night in Portland.............

Roger and I enjoyed a "ritzy" date tonight on a budget. We found a free parking place across from the entrance to the Schnitzer Theater, then walked four blocks for an early dinner at Brasserie Montmartre. They recently changed ownership and their food is beautifully prepared at an affordable price with several entrees under $20. They offered a Groupon several weeks ago ($15 for $30 worth of food and/or drink) so we used that tonight. An appetizer, one Manhattan, sturgeon and steak cost us $34 (plus the original $15).

After a short walk back to the theater, we went to our front row seats for a symphony performance. It was a special bargain night so our seats were only $20 each. (Normally those seats sell for about $75). I doubt that we'll sit that close to the stage in the future, but it was fun for one time because you can see everything going on during the performance.

A lovely evening - delicious food - beautiful music - less than $100. Not bad..............
