There's place that we walk to that has THE BEST Flan ever!  The rest of the food sucks, so we only go there for dessert lol.
So on my birthday, I always choose to go to a Hibachi restaurant and they make me wear a dang tall paper hat.  I've learned to just clap along and hoot 'n' holler with them.  It's easier and funnier to make a fool of myself along with them and then everyone goes about their business. They don't bother as much if it looks like you want the attention.  Reverse Psychology 101  lol
