This picture is from a dessert in mid-May, when Jeanhee and I had dinner at Mercadito with Sanda and Farhad, who were shortly thereafter bound for London; Kendall, who was shortly before a mother for the first time; and Tamar, who, with the rest of us, really enjoyed the company and meal.

Our waitress mentioned that the Alphabet City spot was doing so well that the owners were planning on opening a bar across the street with 100+ types of tequila and 11 kinds of guacamole. Might be time to check it out again.
