It’s a cold, rainy day. Going
out is something one would do only if one absolutely had to. The view from my window reflects the stay-inside weather.
Ellen stops over and
together with Alexander we watch Out of
the Furnace, an okay movie that coulda-shoulda been better. Ellen leaves around 7:15, and by then, the
rain has stopped. An hour or so later, M
arrives from Boston.
We go to Yefsi, a popular Greek
restaurant around the corner from my apartment.
It is usually packed, but because of the weather, it’s pretty empty when we
arrive around nine. By ten, we are the only table left, and it is clear the wait staff is anxious to leave.
The restaurant closes at eleven, but when we try to order an additional
dish, we are told the kitchen is closed.
“I’m sorry, but we’re not that busy, so we’re closing early
tonight.” Two free desserts help
compensate, but still, flexible hours for a restaurant? Not a good idea.
