ceebeegeeNobu was delicious. I can still taste the eel handroll and the creamy spicy shrimp. YUM-MY. About halfway through the meal a couple was seated next to us--I saw the guy out of the corner of my eye--he was one of the scruffy rocker types, and I could sense the staff was excited to have him there--so I thought it might be either Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Kate Hudson's husband, or Drew Barrymore's boyfriend, because all three of them date/are married to rockers. I snuck a glance over; it was Drew Barrymore. Drew! Sat next to me at Nobu!
I had a great time. We ordered the above items, as well as the squid pasta, a yellowtail handroll, a spicy tuna handroll, a softshell crab roll and lots to drink. I started with a foofy cocktail--banana rum, lemon juice, very sweet and then switched to Kirins. Mike had a Bloody Mary variation and then switched to scooooootch. For dessert we shared a Suntory Whiskey (ring a ding ding) sundae that was fucking amazing.
Afterward we went to Jekyll and Hyde in the Village and had beers, and then made our way west through Washington Square Park. I showed Mike again where the thpoooooky Hangman's Tree is in the northwest corner of the park, and told him about all the thpooky bodies buried under the park, which used to be a Potter's Field. Then I had to visit the site of the Triangle Fire (I just finished reading David von Drehle's book about it). The very building, the Asch building, is still there on the corner of Washington Place and Greene Street. We stood there, right there, where it happened, where all those women jumped to their deaths, fated to die because Blanck and Harris locked the doors to prevent employee pilferage.
After that we stopped for a last round at the Caliente and drank Dos Equis. Mmmm...
