"What a blessing it is to wait for a table, what a joy it is to walk home" This was such a beautiful last line and the best summation of what sounds like a perfect night! I need to try this restaurant now!
I love this. Everything about it. I’m from Texas, but when it’s time to travel, my friends and I always debate—NY or Cali? It’s usually NY for me (95% of the time). California has its perks, but New York or Nowhere. I love that you highlighted the good things in an inconvenient situation (I always try to do that too).
Such a beautiful post! I love everything about it. It reminds me of when I went to a food festival alone and ended up talking to this old man about books for about an hour straight. In my country its very uncommon for people to talk to strangers, so to read about other people doing it and the sweet interactions that come from it is just wonderful.
Angelina, I so look forward to reading your writing!! This was a delight, per usual. You do a phenomenal job of drawing us readers in - it felt like I was experiencing it all live!
Makes me wonder if the people next to you didn't hear your conversation at all in the first place, or if they were shy / not wanting to interrupt. I sway between the two. Maybe I need to keep my ears peeled some more, so that I can find some tidbits from conversations around me and talk to some strangers!
