Good food after a good film!

On Tuesday night, man I was tired but Jessica and I had decided that we were going to go see the French movie: Le Père Noël est une ordure! It is like THE french film, cultissime unbelieable. It was directed by Jean-Marie Poiré in 1982. I had actually never seen it but everyone was like: "What, you've never seen this movie? But it's so famous!!!" Bloody hell, I had indeed to see it, just for general culture. We went to the theater playing Le Père Noël est une ordure - this place is called l'Alliance Française. It was incredible : the theater was full of French and Americans and Man the film was SO freaking HILARIOUS. After my horrible day, it was a wicked blast and such a nice way to relax... Have to get the dvd now.

Let's have some diner now!
Well, obviously by the time we got out of the cinema, me and Jess were craving food. We didn't want to go somwhere fancy, might as well get some cheap good food in a nice place than hit the top kind of restaurants and be disappointed. So, we headed to Union Square, kindof midtown east side (I'm such a lousy direction-orientation person!). Well, you know: Union Square :D Jess knew a nice Vietnamese. We ended up witnessing some interesting characters :

- first this guy was out with his girlfriend and I don't know what happened, but he was bitching about the tip and did not want to leave his waitress one. The thing is, they waited for there food and all, but the waitresses here in the US make their money basically out of tips so EVERYONE always leaves a tip. I mean that's how it is... Well, whatever, he could do whatever he wanted, but what a Looser to do that in front of his girlfriend or girlfriend to be... I mean, just shut the fuck up, invite the girl, give 2 bucks to the waitress if she was lousy and get on with your life... But, he ended up not doing anything and saying he did leave her a tip... Jess checked his bill at the end: not a bloody cent.

- second guy, this old - but who looks quite young - guy that was eating alone, he was on our right. He's the type of guy whose totally loaded, still a bachelor and living a nice life. Probably a lawyer or like a corporate something... What was so nice, was thqt he was a proper Manhattan guy, had lived all his life here, born here and well... who knows for the future. But, he was very interesting, had traveled quite a bit and spoke some nice french...

So, one meets all types of people while having some food - apparently :)
Here are some pix - as always!
