Fiddle Dee Dee, girls!!!!!!!! After noshing down at the Second Avenue Deli with Uncle Ernest, to celebrate his 81st (OK, OK, 66-plus!!!!!!!) birthday, Monsieur and I headed out to--can you believe it???--Elmhurst, Queens, where the world famous Georgia Diner, complete with Peach Logo, is located. This is one of those great diners that recalls the ones in Jersey--hell, lots of Queens recalls Jersey--with the inside seeming bigger than out, spinster patrons that you just know are regulars and eat there every night, gangster wannabes noshing down at the soda fountain, and a group of us at a round table in a special dining room that made me feel like Alexander Wolcott at the Algonquin!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had not eaten so much earlier, I would love to have partaken of the menu, which was delectable, indeed. But, then, so were our hosts, Eddie, Brian and Larry, a full bodied crew of queens, in Queens, that did the place proud with their humor and erudition. To think such people live in Queens. Compared to what I have seen living there, they are HUMAN!!!!!!!!!
The salads looked fresh and scrumptious, Monsieur's soup (all he could get down) looked rich and luscious, and the meals were mouth watering. And how many diners still put condiment dishes on the table?????? Not many, I can tell you!!!!!!!!!!
It made the whole trip worth it. That, and finding "Final Destination 3" (the roller coaster one!!!!!!) at Best Buy for $4.99!!!!!!! For Nothing Monday, leading into Shrove Tuesday, it was pretty exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder what Lent has in store for us, girls????????????????
