Chronicles of New York

One day before dinner…

Me: we still on?

Josh: oh yeah. It’s a double date.

Me: cool.

Josh: any ideas where to go?

Me: someplace that won’t have a wait and doesn’t take reservations.

Josh: true, true it’s prolly too late for that.

Me: yeah and lines suck

Josh: agree

Me: where are you guys coming from again?

Josh: upper west side. and you’re still in brooklyn right?

Me: yeah park slope. well sorta park slope, south slope

Josh: what train’s near you?

Me: the F. everything’s inconvenient except the lower east side

Josh: oh, well there’s a lot there

Me: but isn’t that a pain for the two of you?

Josh: it’s ok. you’re coming all the way in from brooklyn

Me: it’s not that far

Josh: it’s far enough

Me: ok ok

Me: btw, did you tell me your girl Miriam is vegan?

Josh: yep no dairy, eggs, fish, meat

Me: ok…well at least that narrows it down

Josh: do you like thai?

Me: can’t. i’m allergic to peanuts

Josh: oh I forgot

Me: and fresh fruit that grows on trees.

Josh: how about mexican?

Me: could do. but isn’t that what we did last time?

Josh: oh yeah

Me: there’s got to be something else that works
