Dinner at Amy Ruth's
Last night, Tien, Eleanor, Masako, Jeannette, Yvan, and Rachelle made the long trip up to Harlem for dinner at Amy Ruth's restaurant, which is a short walk from my place. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and had a lot of fun! We each had fried chicken and the chicken was good.

thanks again for having us over. it was a fun time.
and man, my hair is long. it's always a shock to see it from the side, back, or like it is in that picture.

I'll have to eat at Amy Ruths. Sounds great.
We had a party "catered" by Bama's on Amsterdam between 157 and 156, I think - the food was FANTASTIC.
Joe - I love your photos - they have people in them. Is that Rachelle down on the end in the white shirt? Take a look at some of my pictures, on the web page listed.

Arthur, I started looking at your photos but saw the guy who dances with a dummy in Times Square. He gives me the creeps.
Funny you should mention people in my photos. For some reason, taking photos of people makes me uncomfortable. It may sound awful but I'd much prefer to photograph a storefront or a tree. Last night I just opened up the aperture, surreptitiously aimed the camera in a general direction, and clicked.
Yup, that is Rachelle chowing away. Haven't heard of Bama's. Is it soul food? I've been wanting to try Charles' Southern way up Fred Douglass.
Might I just add that I can still taste the delicious collard greens. Last night that was a good thing. This afternoon, not as good.
