Virtual Mother's Day


The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another - 1983

The whole mad damily went to the Irving Street Kitchen on Sunday for brunch to celebrate Mother's Day. Yes, it was a week early, but the way things get jammed up on holidays we decided we should get our celebrating done early. Dutiful daughter took the initiative and got us booked in on a day when we might be able to have a meal in a timely manner.
    I suspect it's very trendy. It all looks brand new, except all the authentically old stuff they use in furnishing the place. They seated the five of us in a booth with burlap curtains hanging from an iron pipe curtain rod. The table looked to be a two inch slab of maple cut from five foot diameter tree.. It was very loud. I noticed this song playing and I thought this-isn't-my-father's kind of place. I guess it was okay with the kids, but only because it was the middle of the day. I didn't mention that this song was older than they are, not that they would have cared. At the time I didn't know just how old this song is.
    The food was fine, though a little light on meat in the breakfast department, but then meat costs money, so it's probably just as well. The tab was a little warm - $100 for the five of us - but not bad for downtown trendy on Sunday, and some of us were drinking.
