In the light of day
We finally made it out today around 4p.m., and strolled two miles to Fort Greene for the ‘grand reopening’ of the Cafe Habana outpost — an eco-friendly Cuban restaurant (highly recommended by co-worker Aaron). I don’t know if it was the nice weather, the fact that it was a grand reopening, or both, but the place was packed. After paying for or order, we handed our receipt to two chefs in a truck, who were whipping up fresh Cuban fare at breakneck pace. We stood in a mass of scantily clad patrons, listening to the live band, watching the chefs roast corn, chop grilled chicken, pour ladles-full of black beans. The ~45 min wait was worth it. The food was super fresh and yummy, perfect for a warm spring afternoon. Added bonus: the whole operation was ‘green.’
Then we hopped the F to Chelsea where I tortured Curtis with a combo trip to Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store. He’ll never admit it, but he enjoyed looking at all the different kinds of trash cans. We also found some good kitchen-addition options, but we’re going with this one from Target.

We topped the day off with chocolate dip ice cream from a truck. Wow, that’s a lot of food from trucks for one day.
Now, Suns-Spurs, and shooting for a reasonable bed time.
