I was wrong...again.

Our Valentines day adventure was actually a lot of fun. Unlike most people who just went for dinner or had a quiet night at home we went out to an event in the financial district. It was a French cabaret themed costume gala over several floors in a converted old club on Pine St.

This was the sign in area. We were the first people to show up. Normally we are always  late but we actually were there before they even opened. You had to sign in and get a stamp on you hand like you were going into a club or something. They had a great coat check so we could check our coats and galoshes and winter gear. I think somebody checked a huskie and muckluck. They went went upstairs to the dining room. We had the dinner package and it was surprisingly good.

Lisa had the chicken with string beans and mashed. They start you off with a salad and you got a chocolate mousse tart which was actually quite nice. I has the mushroom risotto which I really enjoyed as I have not had any carbs for a month. So the risotto and the dinner roll was like ice cream and I was one happy douchenozzle.

A funny thing happened when the check came. I didn't really know the other couple as they were Lisa's friends from back in the day. We had ordered two bottles of wine but when the bill game the waitress only put one on the bill. We all agreed that we had to call her back to fix the mistake and that we should pay for what we had consumed. In joints like this they would make the waitress pay for her mistake and we wouldn't want that. It is extremely bad karma. I was very happy to see that we were all in agreement. I knew I could trust them and enjoy their company. You see I judge people by how they treat the waiter. So it was time to suit up. Put on our masques and go out to the ball!
