Eleven Madison Park and My Weekend
The weather last Friday was unusually warm at 70 degrees. I was overdressed in my wool jacket and dressy sweater with a fur lined collar. All day people had been teasing me about my sweater. My boss laughed at me for wearing fur on such a warm day. A manager asked how I liked walking around with a cat around my neck. I always get funny reactions from people when I wear that sweater. Girls think it's cute and even call it gorgeous. Some guys think it looks nice, while the animal lover guys give me that "and I thought you were such a nice girl" look. It's faux fur! It's not real!
Anyway, I wore the nicer sweater because I was going out to dinner later that night with the Boy at Eleven Madison Park. I showed up way too early for our 7PM reservation and waited in the lobby for the Boy who had a rough time getting into the city from Connecticut. Dinner was nice, but the Boy was disappointed because nothing he ate was that mind blowing. We started out with an appetizer of raw oysters. I thought they tasted fine, but the Boy detected a slightly fishy taste to it and didn't like the fact that he was paying a good price for something that wasn't fresh. I ordered the lobster for dinner, while the Boy ordered lamb. Before the main dishes came, the Boy kept muttering under his breath for me to stop eating so much bread before the main came. I love bread and will knowingly ruin my appetite with it. But when my lobster came out, the plate was so shockingly bare (the lobster was about the size of my thumb, and there was nothing else except for a lot of white space on my plate) that the Boy encouraged me to eat more bread. His plate wasn't quite as empty as mine, but there still wasn't much on it. The food wasn't bad. I enjoyed my little bite of lobster. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lover's tasting menu for two. That was good and filling! My fave was the little shot of rich hot chocolate, and I loved all of the ice creams and tarts.
On Saturday we walked around Union Square and Astor Place during the day since the weather was so nice and then watched the 40 Year Old Virgin from Netflix at night.
For the rest of the weekend, I got my federal taxes done. I'm getting a little bit of money back, so I'm happy.
