An evening with Cherry

Cherry called yesterday to ask if I was attending a taping of the Leonard Lopate show. Eric was going to be on a panel as part of the New Directors New Films series running at the Met. His short documentary on Chinatown's Music Palace was selected. I said I couldn't go. She said he'd be on the radio at seven. She said we should do dinner. She wanted me to take a photo of her to use on her access badge for the Tribeca Film Festival. I invited her over.

At seven, WNYC started playing music. I checked the web and saw that the Lopate show airs at noon. Cherry arrived at seven thirty and I took some pictures. The digital camera I have is awful. I sent them to her anyway. We had dinner at Ivo & Lulu. Sebastian's slowly introducing his summer menu. He's adding a smoked salmon dish. I sampled a new duck special. He said by next week he should have the salmon dish on the menu. He's bringing back the summer squash and something else I can't now remember.

Dinner was delicious. Cherry was pleasantly sated and by the end of dinner was already making plans to return. We walked for a bit and then she took a cab home. I rented a movie. Posted by eku at March 30, 2005 10:36 AM
