Scenes from Sofia, Bulgaria - Part 5 (of 5)

After a refresh / rest / quick email check back at the hotel it was time for one last spin through the city to get a sense of the evening vibe - such as it might be on a Monday night in November. Once again I went out and down Vitosha Boulevard. Once again I took zero pictures. Not sure why. Perhaps the thinking was it's easy enough to find a million fotos and videos online. Regardless, the restaurants were open, with their mostly-encolsed little dining annexes lining the pedestrian thoroughfare. Vibe was subdued, but people were out. Lights were lit. Nice walk. But most of my time was spent checking out the east / west streets that extend from the spine of Vitosha. Someone once commented to me that in Manhattan the the places on the east / west streets are always a bit more interesting than the places on the avenues. From my experience that tracks generally, if not absolutely. Maybe Happy Bar & Grill would be the exception.
But as I got into the sidestreets off Vitosha I did see that they had their share of cozy-looking places that seemed worth exploring if I were staying longer.
