Maybe Cousin Eric said it best when he was addressing Connecticut Jim's questioning why we were in the Financial District on a Saturday afternoon; "We're all cousins and we've been over the age of 21 for way too long."
This weekend was long overdue.
The Lima Cousins, with the exception of Officer Bestman (who was NYPD'ing that night), and the future Lima Cousins (Liz and Kristen) all trudged down to way Downtown NY for a night of food, drinks, and unwinding.
Here are some of the night's highlights:
Cha Cha's in Little Italy.
Yes, we hung out with the Mayor of Mullberry Street "Cha Cha". According to tour guide Cousin Johnny, Cha Cha is a famous Italian American movie/tv guy who has shown up in such flicks as "The Sopranos" and "Goodfellas".
Future Lima Cousin Liz made sure that Mr. Cha Cha stopped by our table and took a picture with us.
Future Lima Cousin Kristen made the mistake of addressing Mr. Cha Cha in Spanish, as opposed to Italian, which is apparently the language of choice in LITTLE ITALY.
La Nonna's in Little Italy:
Around 10 pm, after eating at several different restaurants, we decided it was time for dinner. Here's the dinner order at La Nonna's:
- 2 plates of antipasto
- 7 bowls of Spinach Egg Drop Soup (not sure why egg drop soup was being served in Little Italy)
- 7 rather large artichoke hearts with mozzarella and bread crumb stuffing.
- 4 different (rather large) bowls of pasta: pasta with puntanesca sauce, linguini and clams, a dish of Gnocchi, and some other type of pasta that was cooked in front of us in a cheese wheel.
Cousin Johnny's ability to "Get Shit Done"
- As evidence by securing an airport shuttle van to bring us to Little Italy.
- As evidence by securing a limo to return us to the hotel at the end of the night.
The Limo Ride Back Home
-Future Lima Cousin Kristen kept attempting to stick her head outside the limo's sunroof. Little did she know, Cousin Johnny kept pleading with the limo driver not to open the sunroof because he didn't need anyone falling out of the limo, on his watch.
-Future Lima Cousin Kristen, about 15 minutes into the limo ride, exclaimed "Oh my God, we're in a limo!"
Things take a little while to process.
