I was really excited and a bit nervous about our first brunch. It felt like throwing a party and then wondering if anyone is going to come. The whole idea is that everyone that I know is sure to have great friends that I would want to know and out first event proved just that.
Before I left the house, I did what every good PR person does and did a Facebook search to see if we knew anyone in common and to pull a couple of conversation points. As it turns out I met one of the Bitches (Bitches always said lovingly and in the true feminist spirit of reappropriation) at a friends 40th Birthday. The small world hypothesis was again proving to be true.
We gathered at Lucy’s in the Square at 12 noon and had a lovely table along the left wall. Slowly I watch old and new friends burst through the door and sit down to brunch. The space itself used to be the Thin Edge of the Wedge, a delicious anarchist pizza place that is now beautiful, warm and inviting.
The menu was really interesting and I had a hard time deciding what to have. I forgot the other best part about dining with women is that we like to share. Before our food arrived, a special delivery of tiny muffins were brought to our table, and being the kind of girl I am, I thought we were special… but nope it was a special touch for all their guests.
Our next brunch is this weekend and I will be happy if our experience comes even close to our fabulous time at Lucy’s in the Square.
