Moving
I’ve run into some limits with this blog hosting site, so we’re packing up shop and moving it across town.
New content, and eventually all of the old, can be found here:
I’ll meet you there.

MyMoon
Tuesday night after a round of cardio at NYSC, the Boy in the Checkered Shirt and I went to Williamsburg for some dinner. Heading towards a Thai place, we decided to take advantage of the unseasonably warm night and ate on the big and empty patio at MyMoon, an elegant restaurant with a Turkish theme. We ordered one glass of their Malbec and one of Shiraz, a steamed artichoke, the vegetable terrine, and split the lamb chops. The terrine was smoked, so not my cup of casserole, but the lamb chops were perfect. Served with potatoes and rice it was enough for two. Seated outside, we kept our eyes peeled for any stray Orionids (didn’t see any) and spread out on our benches for a Mediterranean authenticity.

Jacques Brasserie
Today the Boy in the Checkered Shirt came over and worked on the painting project. Then we went into the city and shopped for a new wireless router (I’m typing this from the floor of my bedroom!) and a pair of Princess Leia-esque headphones for work.
After, we took the W train down to Prince Street and stopped in to Uniqlo to look for a t-shirt he saw in DC. They didn’t have it anymore, but I did pick up a new sweater and 4 pairs of badly needed socks. Then we walked over to Cafe Habana, for a coffee, but the wait for a table was 30 minutes. Instead we headed across the street to Jacques, a French brasserie with very few patrons. We each ordered a cappucino, shared a shrimp and avocado salad. We finished the light meal with a very heavy souffle au chocolat.
And then we boarded the M train at Bowery and headed back to Bushwick.
