New York, I Love You (Almost)

11.10.09 Despite dating almost a month, we hadn't been on a traditional dinner/ movie date. I've wanted to watch New York, I Love You ever since I saw Paris, Je t'aime back in 2006. We planned to watch the movie, but a series of unfortunate events led to a movie date failure. Instead, we decided to do what we do best: to eat a delicious meal at Penelope Cafe. The minute we walked in to the cafe, we felt like we were in a cozy, date spot. We knew they were famous for their Mac & Cheese, judging by the way it was on everybody's table. Always being the odd ball, we decided not to order the Mac & Cheese and go for a healthier route. A particular salad had my name written all over it, literally. “When Veggie Met Sally.” Unfortunately, I hates veggies and salads, so I didn't order that. Instead, I ordered... Grilled Chicken Club – marinated grilled chicken with crispy bacon, melted fontina, honey mustard, mayo, greens, and tomato on a toasted baguette And, he had....

Juicy Beef Burger – lean ground sirloin, flame-grilled burger on a toasted English muffin with pesto-mayo, sliced red onion, greens and tomato

Well Done Penelope. I love the name and the restaurant.
