Quick Recap

1. Monday night we went out to Buffalo Steakhouse with the 'rents and some friends from Toronto. Excellent chicken wings and even better steak (sirloin!).

2. On the bus through Ge'ula/Me'ah She'arim after lunch with the Lazars, Jon saw his first anti-immodesty mob. It was unclear if the police-woman was the cause or the solution to the mob.

3. Tuesday was Aryeshe's birthday, so we went to a restaurant called 1868 (after the historicity of the building). Fanciness! A sampling of what was eaten - goose liver, foie gras with truffles, smoked goose breast, and various cuts of steak. Who knew that Jews ate things other than potatoes and onions?

4. Wednesday lunch at Macaroni with the Goldbergs and the Cormans - still the best lunch in the city.

5. Wednesday dinner with a crew of Torontonians, both visiting and permanent. Even though it was Joy, an upper-end eatery, half the table got burgers and fries.
