Welcome to Substack Amy! Not too late and it’ll be great. One of Ellen and my first dates was at a restaurant in the Village on the night of the Halloween parade, which I’d somehow forgotten about. We were coming from different directions. Took me over an hour to figure out how to cross Sixth Ave. Got there to find Ellen nursing a glass of red and only mildly peeved. Happy holidays and avoid those New Year’s crowds.
Elephant and Castle is one of my favorites but it was actually at another animal de plumed place, the infamous and now disgraced Spotted Pig. I guess I thought I was a cool kid taking Ellen there but yuck. Food not even that great but the lady sitting across from me was!
Yay! Welcome to Substack. My computer tried to autocarrot that word to "substance." I guess that's a good omen, right? Anyway, loved the first entry. I haven't made it out to a parade, festival, or other large social gathering in three years. I guess I miss the pageantry, but not the parking or the wind and rain. Happy holidays anyways. :)
Glad you’re here 💚
Thanks Jo!

Thanks Steven. And sweet story! I'm imagining you at Cafe Loup or maybe Elephant and Castle. A Modern Love story!
