Two nights on the town
For the second weekend in a row, Susan and I left Hoboken for an evening in New York. On New Years Eve, we had gone to the famous Birdland. This place is something out of a 1940’s film set and if you’ve never been there and don’t hate Jazz, treat yourself to a show there. Order the Collared Greens!
This weekend, Hannah joined us as we went for a meal at Emporium Brasil on 46th Street, with my cousin Delia, her husband Jon and their lovely 4 year old, Lucy. They were over from England. I have to recommend the place. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. And 5 adult meals, a bowl of Pasta for little Lucy, two glasses of wine and a few sodas came to just over $160 with tip, which was included. Great food and most reasonable.

After the meal, Susan and I went to St. Andrews Pub on 44th Street. This is New York's only Scottish Pub - all of the bar staff are Scottish and all wear kilts. They have excellent live folk music and draft Strongbow; and when Susan asked Roger, the friendliest bartender/waiter anywhere, what was under his kilt, he showed her. Maybe this doesn’t answer the age-old question about what all Scotsmen wear under their kilts, but Roger wears nothing! Co-incidentally, at the next table to us, there were 4 people visiting from Susan’s neck of the woods – Scranton and Hazleton. One of them took this picture.
