I wasn't planning on going to a meetup tonight. However, I ended up going as a space freed up at the last minute - and I wanted to try out a new restaurant.

Normally, I wear some kind of tunic and leggings when I go to work. However, I wanted to look a little nicer when going to an upscale restaurant. So I went home and stripped, then put on some stockings and a dress before going out again.
It took me a few minutes to find a parking spot near the restaurant in White Plains. No, it wasn't that crowded in that area of town. It was because the streets had me going way out of the way to effectively go half a block in the wrong direction on a one-way street. But once there, I met the group and sat down to have a nice dinner.
You'll notice that I haven't mentioned the name of this place. The food was good, but the service was inattentive. They simply did not have the staff to maintain a pre-covid level of service, and it showed in our post-covid environment. There were several times that we had to ask the wait staff for help, and even then, some tasks were left incomplete. The one I noticed most was when the waiter filled the water glasses of 3 people, leaving the 4th with an empty glass. I was also affected, when the wrong dessert was brought to me. Then, when the desired dessert was delivered, I didn't get a fork with which to eat it. I ended up using my spoon to do so.

Although I had signed up for another meetup tomorrow, I bailed out on it. I have enough things to do that will have me eating out. So why add more calories to the waistline?
