Embracing the Old and the New
After eating a ton of appetizers -- including an experimental bite of seared foie gras; afterall, 2010 is the year for trying new things -- with two of our favorite people, we roll over to an old school hotel bar. Sinking into a dark, vinyl booth, we take it all in. The hazy paintings of lounging women, the piano player who apparently can play anything, the mustachioed bartender in suspenders, the older couple dancing.
Why don't we get out more often?
The server suggested a beer, martini, or a Champagne cocktail. Seriously? Yeah, I'll have one of those. Then recreate it for you later.
Here's to an amazing 2010. Cheers!
