So I'm back in the Little Apple after a great weekend in KC with Michael. We left yesterday morning and got there a little early, so we bought me some allergy medicine (I was having some serious sinus issues) and looked around Best Buy for a little bit. Once we got checked into the hotel we got ready and decided to try our luck at the "first come, first serve" restaurants. It was only 5 pm, no one would be out yet, right?....
Wrong.
There were at least 150 people in the lobby of the Cheesecake Factory, and at J. Alexander's there were people lined up all the way down the bar and out the door. So we decided to do Cheesecake Factory's CurbSide To-Go and just have a picnic in our room. So we got all of that figured out and somehow managed not to get in a car accident in the parking lot when we picked it all up. Then we went back to the hotel and watched Lucky Number Slevin, and then 13 Going on 30.. (Couldn't pick 2 different movies, right? =) ) I ate so much I thought I was going to explode. And I could just describe to you what we ate, but I brought pictures, which are so much better....
Where we were supposed to eat...
um... I liked the mirror in the elevator.
After our unsuccessful attempt to find food, Michael orders. (in his suit. =) )
I got rigatoni...
He got steak...
And there was bread... (Anyone know what kind the brown one is? It was kinda sweet and really, really good...)
Annnnd the dessert. (From top left, clockwise are the Kahlua coffeecake cheesecake, the 30th anniversary cheesecake, lemon and raspberry cream and Godiva chocolate.)
They were all beyooond great. And we couldn't finish any of them. Half of three of them are in my fridge. =)
But now I'm back to reality, with homework to do... so I'm off to do that. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!
much love,
alex
