Some of the Gypsy Kings

I've just returned from the Au Bar. C's cousin is in town with her husband on her belated honeymoon, and she invited me to join them. A mutual friend managed to put us on the guest list. Two former members of the Gypsy Kings, Manolo & Lito, were the featured performers. It's not a place you would associate with dancing on the tables, but two songs into their set, the coffee tables were supporting groups of people angling for a better view, their feet knocking over the wineglasses perched on the edges.

The first time I went to the bar was years ago. It was almost empty, and our small group was the only one on the dance floor. This evening, C. didn't dance, but S. did, and the floor was packed. And her cousin's husband was hit upon by other men. "Serves him right for wearing red," she said.

On an unrelated note, Sunrise Mart opened up a branch on Broome and West Broadway, just around the corner from me. I'll never be without green tea ice cream again. Posted by eku at March 18, 2004 1:51 AM
