So, I had this list of things I wanted to do and places I wanted to visit one last time before I left. And most of it I’ve covered. A couple weeks ago Tien said “Peter Luger’s isn’t on that list, but it should be. I’m making us reservations!” and he did. And I’m so glad! I don’t think anyone who’s been there would dispute that it’s the best steakhouse in New York. It’s been voted #1 by Zagat’s every year since at least 1986. The food was so delicious. For starters we had shrimp cocktail and the onion and tomato plate. Then we had medium rare steak for 3 and medium steak for 2. For sides we had German fried potatoes, creamed spinach and fries… then dessert, of course! Key lime pie and a fudge sundae to split. Oh, and our waiter Stanley was this cute old man. Efficient, but nice.
Jeannette, Yvan, Tien, and Jess surprised me with a few New Yorkish going away gifts too. Some tumblers with the subway lines, a magnet that is an old subway token, a New York neighborhoodie, and some hot pink boy-cut panties that say rachelleb.com on the back!! Totally unexpected! Thank you for everything, guys! I will miss you dearly!

Peter Luger Steakhouse, a Pseudo Sendoff
With Rachelle moving away in a little more than a week, there are only a few more days for her to do “New York things” before she leaves. Jeannette, Jess, Yvan, and I decided to take her for a farewell dinner at Peter Luger Steakhouse.

i didnt have time this morning to put in links, but neighborhoodies is a company that makes personalized clothing. the concept is to put your neighborhood on your hoodie… and on their site you can customize exactly what you want the clothing to say and in whatever colors you want. you can see a photo of my new york neighborhoodie (and pink hotpants!) on tien’s site.

Hey Rachelle,
Off topic here, but you should be able to find a wealth of new pictures/entries for your Street Writing section in shy town…I’m sure you’ve thought of that.
