City Island is nautical hamlet off the coast of New York City's mainland borough, The Bronx. It still has a small town feel, even though it is in America's biggest city. The reason why most visitors come to this out of the way part of NYC is its collection of Seafood Restaurants. And this is where Vicki and I planned to head today.
It was nice to get dressed as Marian again. Unfortunately, it was a little bit too cool to go out in one of my summer frocks. Instead, I took out a dress and a pair of leggings that I wear during the winter, threw on a light denim jacket, and drove to Vicki's place to pick her up.
Normally, Vicki does much of the driving. But her car was in the shop for warranty repair. Given how much the repair would cost if not under warranty, I'm glad that she is still covered by her manufacturer's warranty. Otherwise, she'd be spending 40% of the car's original cost to fix it.
I picked Vicki up a few minutes after 6, and we started catching up on things. It was nice to be able to tell Vicki about our cruise, and the disembarkation day problems. And she mentioned things I won't cover here. Arriving at the restaurant around 7, we sat down to order our food - a lobster plate for each of us, with a calamari dish we could share. Yum!
We had to rush back to Vicki's after dinner, as she has a couple of dogs to care for. But we'll be having dinner again soon, as RQS, Vicki and I will be feasting somewhere nearby.
