A Salt & Battery. If you want a place with almost no atmosphere that serves authentic British style fish and chips, this is the place to go! It's a hole in the wall place next to its sister restaurant, Tea & Sympathy, which makes some of the best fried seafood in NYC. Mind you, there may be only 4 seats in this place, so get there early!

But first....
I had made plans with one of my TG friends (let's call her SRB) to meet for dinner. SRB and I have gone out to eat before, and she drives in from her job from the hinterlands of Brooklyn. Today, she had a hard time getting to the restaurant because of rush hour traffic. But she started to relax when we finally got together.
SRB asked me a personal question regarding my relationship with RQS. And I answered her questions, noting what I was able to give up in my path to femininity to have a romantic relationship. She said I was lucky, as her ex couldn't deal with it. Then, she told me of a fruitless job search, and I noted that our age and TG status could have gotten in the way of things. (I'm not going to get into details here, as SRB deserves some privacy.) All too soon, it was time to leave the restaurant, as others wanted the 2 seats we occupied. So, off we went to find a Starbucks, or another place where we could sit down with a cup of coffee. Too bad that the local Starbucks closed an hour earlier than the times posted at the store.
After walking a couple of miles, it was time to part. I made it to Grand Central with just enough time to take a bio-break and get some iced tea from the Starbucks at Grand Central. Once I made it to my car, I had a quick chat with RQS before going to Wegmans for some grocery shopping.
As I said in another post - one busy day out of several before I get a chance to have a day solely to myself....
