We don&#8217;t have a local yellowpages because we did not get a new home phone when we moved here. Each of us has our own cell phone and I just didn&#8217;t see any reason to pay for a home phone. The downside to that is you don&#8217;t get a local directory with all the ads for nice restaurants and other places you might want to go after you get settled into your new place.<\/p>\n<p>So, I used the internet for a local search on fine dining and was pleasantly surprised at how many choices there are within a 30 minute drive of our new house. Of course, choosing the best place is the hard part.<\/p>\n<p>At least we both agree that we want a nice American food restaurant with a good reputation for their steaks. Sometimes I like to try other nice places &#8211; especially Italian restaurants &#8211; but we haven&#8217;t enjoyed a nice steak dinner in a very long time. So I picked three local restaurants that looked good to me and gave the list to hubby &#8211; he can pick from those three and then we&#8217;ll call in the morning to make reservations for our special dinner tomorrow night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We haven&#8217;t lived here long enough, nor had the special occasion yet, to go out and have a nice romantic dinner, just the two of us.
