Thai Bluegrass

Mango Shrimp Salad

Though we never need an excuse to visit Sweet Basil, possibly the best Thai restaurant on the Peninsula, this weekend's Bluegrass festival in Redwood City drew us in for more than just the sublime menu.

Accompanying an excellent meal was Windy Hill, a five-piece band with an old-time sound.

Afterwards, we wandered over to Tartine for coffee and chocolate and the harmonies of 27 Strings.
