1. PH sending out the email letting us know that our 'volun-teaming' event was going to be something to do with gardens in the Bronx. I'm looking forward to it.
2. RT being willing to go pick up a volunteering t-shirt for me after I forgot and headed out.
3. The inside of Minetta Tavern not being nearly as scarily posh as I thought it would be, given the long time it took to get a reservation and how their windows are all blacked out.
4. Dinner at Minetta Tavern being quite excellent, Dan getting fresh pasta that was a play on pasta carbonara, I think, and I of course got the Black Label burger. The burger was more distinguished by it's almost melty texture rather than its flavor to me. I judged it to be worth the wait but probably wouldn't pay $26 for it again. Also, Dan's Kroenenbourg beer and my hard cider were also both quite good. I also got a lovely hazelnut crepe for dessert.
5. Killing time between the end of dinner and the jazz band by hanging out at B&N for a bit. I love our date nights.
6. Quite enjoying the jazz band The Brooklyn Boogaloo Blowout with Leah Siegel. Dan might even look into whether we might be able to book them as a wedding band. Very talented and skilled, all around.
