We tried to get a reservation for Valentine’s Day’s dinner at one of our favorite “special occasions” restaurants only to learn that others had the same idea and we were placed on the waiting list. So we made a backup reservation at its sister restaurant — which we had never tried.
As we waited in vain for a spot off the waitlist, apprehension grew over our destiny for dinner. Would it be special for a special occasion?
Casting fate to the winds, we resigned ourselves to our second choice — hoping for the best.
Our apprehension vanished as we entered the restaurant and saw Gotham’s culinary aficionado, David Abeshouse with Gotham’s Steve Millon and their wives enjoying their dinner.
Dinner was wonderful. Fate served us well.
