Saturday Stuffs – Mikami Sushi and Take the Bait Seafood Bar Closes and Mission Valley Farmers Market at Civita Park

Just a couple of quick things for a relaxing pre Super Bowl Saturday

Mikami Sushi and Take the Bait Seafood Bar Closes:

During my takeout visit from Curry Club I had to park a bit further down the parking lot than I usually do. Glancing over at Mikami Sushi, I noticed the brown paper taped to the windows and doors, so I decided to walk on over to take a look.

And yes, Mikami, which Cathy posted on twice and the attached Take the Bait Seafood Bar has closed.

Strange, I didn't even hear a peep about the place closing.

Mission Valley Farmers Market at Civita Park:

We finished up our Saturday Little Italy shopping and other errands quite early this morning and wanted to take JJ somewhere, but we really couldn't decide on where. Then I thought it might be fun taking JJ to Civita Park which I had done a brief walk thru during my visit to La Clochette Cafe & Bakery. We'd go ahead and get some breakfast croissants and then take JJ to the park to explore. Sadly, La Clochette doesn't have any pastries in stock until after 9am; so we just got some coffee and relaxed. Driving into the development, we had noticed signs for a Saturday Farmers Market. The clock was just striking 9am when we finished our coffees so we decided to take a quick look.

It was quite mellow on this day. Not sure if it was because the Farmers Market had just opened, or perhaps the season, but the busiest businesses were all the food stands at the east end.

We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and all the vendors were very friendly.

The Missus loved the stuff She bought from the Aglo Oils booth. The woman manning the booth, whom I believe is the business owner was so helpful.

Civita FM 05

There are only 2-3 produce stands and 4 bread and pastry ones.

Not sure if it was because we had just come from the bustling Little Italy Mercato, but this just seemed so relaxed.

I should have taken more photos, but JJ was having a blast exploring the paved trails, sniffing all the plants, and he especially enjoyed going up and down the stairs???? Go figure. I'm sure we'll return so I'll get more photos then.

We did mange to get a couple of photos of the little monster though!

He loved all the attention he got from folks as well……
