Last night we had a hell of a time find a place to eat. All the good ones had 45 minute to 2 hour waits. We even tried a couple of not-so-good ones, & the service was so lousy we didn’t even get sat (I’m looking at you ‘Benjamins’)! We ended up at Quohogs, & had a lovely dinner, though.

Then we went back to Pelhams for music & drinks … accidentally walked right past a whole line waiting to get in & met our bartender at the door. He immediately let us in & comp’ed us the cover charge! Holey Crap, it was like being a regular at a casino. I guess we spent enough money last night to make an impression.

For the record, the perk felt good!

We got up too late for breakfast, again. Oh, well. Now we’re off to lunch on the wharf & then back to the Astor’s Beechwood mansion for the tour.

After last night’s difficulty getting into a restaurant (some had up to 2 hr waits!), I called ahead & made a reservation. So, at 6:30 pm we take a leasurely sail around the bay, just as the sun is setting, & then we go to a very nice, cozy restaurant named Zelda’s Cafe for dinner.

I think we’ve had enough of the bands & booze for this weekend. We’ll stay in & try something quieter.
