^ The crowds were down Memorial weekend compared to the 3 past years -- don't know why. But all the major restaurants sold out for the vintners' dinners and the Royal Street Stroll sold out weeks ago too, so go figure. Glad you didn't have to fight past crowds!

Weather was gorgeous too!

We had the best dinner and service ever at the vintner's dinner at Stella! I think it even beat the Chef's Table splendor at Commander's a couple of years ago. And Sara Jessica Parker was at a table across the room and that wasn't so bad either...
