g.johnson Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 No no. Too much running around on a worknight. That would cut seriously into the post-prandial Display Of Gratitude time -- which, let's face it, is the whole point of this exercise. That almost made me throw up a little in my mouth. Funny, when I read that sentence, I got stuck trying to remember if Display Of Gratitude Time is east or west of Rocky Mountain Time. I think it involves going south. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The admins should change the title of this thread because Sneak didn't ask what to order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 What should I order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The online menu appears to be up to date so I can't tell you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oakapple Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 All I know is, if the actual menu doesn't agree with the online version, you're entitled to throw a hissy fit. Dates are impressed by this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Recent conversation in restaurant: DATE: You know a lot about wine. Do you ever send a bottle back? ME: Rarely. Sometimes they're flawed. But not very often. DATE: This other guy I go out with . . . last week he took me to [well-reviewed new high-endish NYC restaurant], and he made such a big deal about returning the wine . . . . he was so imperious he was almost rude about it. ME: He was doing that to impress you. He wanted you to see how discerning and powerful he is. DATE: He did that to impress me? ME: Yeah. DATE: Asshole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 DATE: This other guy I go out with . . . Other guy????? You have competition?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 What should I order? So, are you going to La Lunchonette? The one time we went there quite a few years ago, I thought the food was mediocre at best and the atmospherics depressing. I think the food at Gascogne is delicious. If the weather happens to be warm next Tuesday, the garden is charming (though the interior is too). And you can't get much closer to the Joyce, i.e., diagonally across the street.

Sneakeater Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Actually we're going to Aldea. (You can all come and shout rude remarks across the room if you want.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Actually we're going to Aldea. (You can all come and shout rude remarks across the room if you want.) What about the other guy? Make sure you sit facing the entrance in case he's watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Different girl. This one's other guy couldn't afford to get in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Different girl. This one's other guy couldn't afford to get in. How many other guys are there? Calling someone by the wrong name is always embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm not going steady with any of these people. I have no idea how many other guys they see. They'd be incredulous at how many other women are willing to go out with me, I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Wish there was a way to respond in public, but there isn't. So for now, I'm going to check out Chocolate Girl's party. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
