Hofbrau atmosphere.

If I were going to spend Thanksgiving in a bar, I'd go to Vesuvio's. They have a free buffet, or did a couple of years ago when we wandered in after TG at Schroeder's, seemed like sort of a potluck. Fun and friendly. Wed Nov 11 09:39:36 -0800 2009 5171803 11369 Robert Lauriston 2 5173015 They always have a VERY long line!!
