It's welcome home/happy graduation for Izzy, with Ken and Shannon, at the Spotted Pig in the Village.



There's been a lot of press about this place since it opened, most of it strictly Page Six stuff, or the fact that among the several investors in this place are Jay-Z and Mario Batali. Jay-Z and Mario Batali. Riiight. What next, Martha Stewart and Busta Rhymes presenting an MTV Award together? Preposterous.

My frittata is nice. Shann and Iz's burgers are bloody though they distinctly ask for medium-well. I can't remember what Ken orders. We split two desserts between us: the walnut, chocolate & amaretto cake, which is either too subtle for me, or is just plain dry and flavorless, and the lemon and lime tart, which I think is entirely too loud and in-your-face. I'm hoping that the two desserts will somehow be able to meet in the middle, but we all know desserts don't always work that way....



Shann and Iz want to go to nearby Magnolia Bakery for cupcakes ("for research") afterwards, followed by record-and-jewelry-bin diving at the street-fair. Nice day to be out.


[6/10 edit: Ken had a Cuban sandwich, and it looked good.]
