I’m in a room bright with candle light, with
The girl who let two men flirt over her
The girl who left her man to smoke
The girl who tried (in vain) to kiss the boy she brought along
The one who had her heart broke
The boy who didn’t let the girl kiss him
The one who spoke to me like I was the only girl in the world
The boy who was gay but didn’t know it yet
The boy the girl left cold
The bartender who just moved to New York from Paris
The one who made me a drink off the list
The waitress who brought me the dessert menu
The chefs that drank beer at the end of their shift
I’m in a room filled with mirrors
A room bright with candle light
The room has old photos on every wall
This room… I could spend my entire night.
I’m at Joseph Leonard in New York’s West Village. A neighbourhood restaurant that will make you want to move to this neighbourhood, just so you can call it your own. I drank ( Rye Not cocktail with rye, tamarind tea, fresh lemon, bitters at $12) and ate (mussels special in Thai green curry at $14 and ricotta fritters at $7). But also… I lived a little.
