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.
Cafe Habana is always packed. I’m sure your friend could find that shirt online.
