My co-worker recently had plans to meet up with a friend and she decided to Just Ask Me where they should go. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner and margaritas on my mind, I had many places I wanted to recommend. But there is one important thing I needed to know. What neighborhood? So I went ahead and in the spirit of 5/5, made a list of 5 spots for them to go, based on what location they would be meeting up in. Check it out below:
