So the coolest thing happened at lunch today.
I was sitting at the West End
(The West End, 2911 Broadway (@ 113th St.), 662-8830
M-Su 11:30am-2am
Columbia University hangout (it's 1 block southwest of campus) once frequented by Kerouac. Huge sitting areas inside, with o.k. food served till 10pm. Back room hosts bands every Friday and Saturday for $0-10. Cheap pitchers.) .
I ordered cheese fries and a diet coke. The cheese fries came and I ate them, but no diet coke. The waitress comes back to the table and asks how things are...by now I am 30 minutes into my lunch break...I say "good, but I am really thirsty". She looks at the table and sees that not even a water has graced my path since I have sat down. She says: "Chardonnay?" I say: "No, not today. I will just have a diet coke". She's like: "Have a Chardonnay, it's on me." I say: "Well, ok!"
She brings me my Chardonnay and I drink it in two seconds. She comes back about 10 minutes later and says: "Another one?" I say: "No, just the bill please." She is like: "Have another one. It's on me".
DOH?!?!?!
"Well, alright", I say. I then drink the next glass of wine and she brings me the bill. $4 and change for cheese fries and two glasses of wine. YAYAYAY! What a nice suprise. She is the cutest little blonde girl and she treated me so well. What a suprisingly good lunch.
And cheap! Almost cheaper than Burger King.
Almost.
