and so Sunday is underway

Lunch is Italian because it suddenly started to rain, and I was right in front of Dean's Family Style Restaurant.

My morning was quiet, and hopefully the afternoon will be the same.

I'm near the Natural History Museum so after lunch I may head over to photostroll around. Though spending an afternoon at the bookstore cafe dowm the street sounds good too.

Next to a daddy and daughter are spending Sunday together. She's an adorable 6 or 7 year old with an awesome vocabulary.

They're waiting for friends who are very late. Amazing how patient the little girl is, her faher is describing all the people who are coming to meet them for lunch. He's even including hair and eye color. She's got a head count for the "grown-ups," "kids," & "babies." A very well-organized family.

One look at the decor & menu tells me this is not an Italian owned place. The food going by looks pretty good. My guess is they're Greek or Albanian. A lot of Greeks & Albanians own Italian restaurants in New York.

When you grow up Italian home like I did two things are sure: every day is an episode out of Everyone Loves Raymond & you know when you're around other Italians.

Just finished my meal - not bad.

Caio for now.
