Where everbody knows your name...

I realized the other day that I mention going to Cats, a lot, and have never really explained what it is. Cats is our local haunt down in Bebek. It's this great little bar that feels like home (probably because I'm there all the time). I first went there with my friend Stephanie to listen to her friend who is a DJ. It was also through her that I met Alper, the owner of the bar. Over the next 6 months, I went there with Steph & NannyKate and then when they left, I introduced Anna and Rebby to the place. It was the perfect meeting spot for us as it was in the center of where we all lived, so we ended up spending many a weekend there. And although the beer is kinda expensive, we usually ended up getting a couple free ones from Alper. We made friends with the different DJs that played there, the bartenders and some other patrons of the bar. It has now become our Cheers, because everyone there really does know our names. And I don't mind going there so frequently, as I feel that I'm helping to support my friends. So, as I took Victoria there for the first time, I felt like I was continuing a great nanny tradition...alcoholism...just kidding!!
