Hannah had school until 1.30pm and then headed over to "All Saints' where she is interning. She worked there until 6pm. I took the subway from my place down to Soho and met her at 6pm. Boy, Soho is buzzing on a Friday night. It is dark by 6pm and from Broadway looking north you can see the Chrysler Building all lit up against the dark sky. It is beautiful. We hope to go shopping for a black cardigan for Hannah, (she lost the one she had) Next door to her office on Broadway is "Zara", a very nice store. Not as expensive as I thought it was going to be. I watched "The View" this morning and managed to see a fashion show with some very nice things from "Zara". Anyway, we came out with a black cardigan, a coat and a pair of leather boots for Miss Hannah. The coat is so cute - I need to take a picture.
We head across the street to "Sephora" where we stock up on some face cream and hand cream and some new OPI nail polish. We are having a sleepover tonight and you know that means doing our nails.
We walk up to and along the Bowery to a restaurant that we tried to get into for my birthday. On my birthday is was closed for a private event. We manage to get a table tonight. The "Double Crown" is very nice. There are 2 rooms, we are seated in the back room called the panel room which is a little quieter. As it fills up it gets noisier.
We see people walking through, what seems to be, a secret panel door in the wall to yet another room behind this one and wonder??? A couple of gentlemen, who are French speaking, seated next to us asks the waiter about the influx of people to the secret room and we are told there is a gin bar behind the door. All very interesting.
I have a delicious Butternut Squash Curry with Jasmine rice on the side. Hannah has the Hanger Steak with Chinese Broccoli which is also delicious. We try a glass of wine recommended by our waiter. I have the Riesling and she has a red from Lebanon - did not know Lebanon was a wine producing country. It is always good when you can say you have learned something new. I have since learned that Lebanon has been producing wine for a very long time. In fact, it is apparently believed it was Lebanese wine that was served at The Last Supper - who knew???? I am always happy to tell people that the first miracle Jesus ever performed was turning water into wine. Must be a good thing.
After dinner we walk to Hannah's apartment, have a little chat with Simone, her roommate. Hannah picks up some overnight things and we take a cab to my apartment.
The main job tonight - apart from the nails - is to look at the class choices Hannah has for next semester. She will register on the 17th. She has the essential classes to take but she needs to decide on 2 electives.
I think we manage to have a plan - and a back up. Parsons has changed the way it allows you to register, at least for Hannah it is different than last year. Unfortunately, it sounds a bit like the way Western in London Ontario does it. The students are divided into 2 groups, one group can register half an hour before the other. Hannah is in the second group. There was a random draw to decide which group you were in. We can only hope the classes she wants are still available to her when it is time for her to register.
We Skype with Roision and then with Julia, both in Vancouver.
Terry calls us when he arrives in Tacoma - 11.30pm NYC time. It has been a long day for him, although her gains 3 hours by being on the west coast. He decides it is cheaper to rent a car than to take a cab to and from the airport. He calls again when he arrives at the hotel, 12.30am. Just as well Hannah is here or you know I would be asleep.
We head off to bed and look forward to tomorrow. Oh, by the way, we did get our fingernails painted - maybe the toenails tomorrow.
night night
