Best of .09 ~ Restaurant moment
September 6. Brooklyn, NY. Moto Restaurant. w| my mom, sister, and her friends:
My mom and I met in NYC for Labor Day weekend to visit my sister, see several shows, and eat our way through Manhattan. Nancy and Dave made reservations one night for a restaurant near their apartments, in Brooklyn on the edge of Williamsburg. It was a stand-alone little place that looked from the outside like it could have been a speakeasy at one point. Or an autobody shop.
It had a cozy vintage feel. After we sat down, the band came in to set up. Right next to me. Now and then I chatted with the band between their sets. The food was amazing. I was with my mom and sister for the first time in a loooong time.

Now I want an artichoke. I wonder if the artichoke hummus I have in the fridge will stop the craving...off to try it.
everything about this post makes me happy-- keep 'em coming!
p.s. especially the calm, satisfied look on your face.
Sounds like the perfect night. And date cake? Really? Sounds gawd awful to me. Help a sista understand how you could possibly order something like that.
Sounds heavenly!
mmmm...artichokes. This is a happy post. I love the atmosphere you created.
I just received 2 books in the mail that I ordered after reviewing your favorite books for children and parents. I chose Between Parent and Child and Raising Cain. It's been a rough year with both Norah and Lulu's diagnosis's and poor Abram is the 3rd child caught in the middle of all of this. I'm afraid he is a little angry. I could certainly use some sound advice. Thank you oh wise Annie.
Mostly I'm just jealous of the time spent with your mom and sister :)
But the restaurant does sound pretty great, too.
