The River Cafe

Ron phoned The River Cafe just as we got off the Empire State Building elevator see if a table had come up. We were advised that if we could be there by 6:00 (absolutely no later) they could fit us in. It was 5:30 and was two subway rides away! Did we make it?? You bet! As Ron said, "We're rock stars!" If you want to hear the whole story, ask me sometime... Bottom line is we walked in at 6:10 and once Ron and Bill were outfitted with jackets over their casual shirts, all three of us walked in wearing our jeans and runners and were treated to the loveliest dinner with truly a million dollar view. We had the Statue of Liberty on our left, skyline of Manhattan in front of us, and the Brooklyn Bridge on our right. The sky was turning pink as we sat down and before long the lights of Manhattan came on and we sat back and indulged ourselves.
