At about 7:15 on Friday night I realized that we were running late (again) and it was my fault (again). I wanted to take Brian to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe for the Friday Night Poetry Slam and we originally planned on eating closer to school. If any of you know anything about Friday night at the Nuyorican, you know that "Doors open at 10pm" means you'd better be in line by 9:15 if you want to get inside. Lucky enough for us, my tardiness led us to eating at this amazing French restaurant on the lower east side called Lucien. There was an authentic vibe to the restaurant that made us feel like we were right back in Mont-de-Marsan or a South of France city equivalent. We ordered Escargot for an appetizer...and it was healthy competition for the ones we had in France. Honestly. The fish soup (Soupe de Poisson Traditionelle sounds so much nicer) was really good too; they served us crispy bread and two different types of cheeses for the bread and soup....clearly they knew I was coming. It was really great and the people there (like the Parisian hostess) are actually friendly, despite what people think about the French.
