After a productive day, Travis and I went out for dinner. We went to a Mexican place called La Palapa in the East Village. The food was delicious, but it just didn’t match up to the likes of Bertha Miranda’s in Reno. East coasters just don’t know how to do the Mexican food right. Our dishes cost twice what they would have in Reno, and we didn’t get the unlimited chips and salsa we had become so accustomed to. Not to mention no side of beans or rice! We left the restaurant still hungry. We headed over to a bakery called Veneiro’s. We ordered a cannoli, cheesecake, and the fruit supreme cake. Travis also wrote a new theme song for the two of us. It consisted of him singing in a falsetto “Two fat kids, three desserts.” They were fantastic! We weren’t even able to finish them all. The cannoli is still waiting in our fridge.
Travis is pretty good at free stylin’. If I remember correctly he wrote a song about trash on the Metro.
I want drunken late night phone calls/voice mails involving both songs!
It was less about “trash” then it was a rap about curbing subway pollution. Remember: “be part of the solution, not the pollution!”
I was there! This post brings back fond memories of my late night scarf down with a platter I’ll lovingly call “dessert destiny.” Cheers!
