fair weather restaurant

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.
