It’s not often I watch something on TV or check out a clip online and see some place I’ve been.

Of course, that doesn’t count big things like the U.S. Capitol or New York, but rather more unique experiences.

This morning I got an email updating the latest news from the Ice House Cafe, a restaurant and bar my family has been going to forever.  Well maybe not literally forever, but often when I’m there the bartender, Dan, will tell other patrons stories about me and my siblings as little kids climbing up on the stools and demanding he change the television to a sports game.

One piece of news was that the Oyster Bar area was recently used in a music video by R&B artist Akshan.  It’s that part of the restaurant where my family has spent most of our time, including many years of eating at the exact same table by the front window.

A really great part about the Ice House is the decor, which you could easily spend hours examining.  That also makes it easy to see that in the video, around the 3:25 mark, Akshan is sitting exactly where I have sat dozens of times.  From there you can look outside at the cars passing by and across the street at what was for many years a sports card shop.

The real perk — in addition to the sweet old-time football picture — is that right next to his left knee, there’s a heat vent, which is an excellent addition to any wintertime dining experience.
