Eating out [Tue 23]

First morning in Philly, got up way way too early because it's an old wooden house and SL goes to his hospital early in the morning. Got up at 6am when he got up, and then at 7am when he left for work, finally at 8.30 forrealz. And the noise, oh the noise of the city, that's going to be a separate post here, but staying here in the hard of Philly for 3 days on the third floor has already made me realize maybe city living is not for me.

The day was chill, N and I hung out. Lunch was amaaazing, we made puri-tarkaari, tarkaari of potatoes. I rolled out the puri, N deep fried them in ghiu. So so good ahhh, and I hadn't been part of puri-making before ever, that was an amaahzing experience.

Since this was my first night in Philly with the guys, and SL had his day off the following day, we decided to go eat out. On our way out we saw a man who was threatening to jump from the second floor. He had ended up right in front of our front door and was shouting at the popo. The cops told us to not come out because we didn't know if he was dangerous or not, so we used the backdoor. Phew. City life!

Quite a few restaurants and bars have opened here, with only outside seating. We went to this place nearby but all the six outside tables were taken, and the couple we thought was leaving ordered more food and beer. Maybe it's just me but it's possible they ordered extra just to spite us and not let us in. We waited for two minutes gave up checked out a few more places before finally ending up at Bru this German bar I've mentioned here before that also happens to be really close to the new place SL and N are moving to this September.

We got a seat right away, no umbrella it started raining a bit SL said there was going to be a big storm in 20 minutes, we left, walked over to the other corner, found an empty table with an umbrella and sat down. There was no storm. N and SL got donner kebabs with beers, they said they didn't like them, I got eggplant sandwich. It was good, not too spicy though so a little underwhelming. Boy do they give away a lot of fries with their entrees! So much fries! My stomach hurt for the rest of the evening.

Came back home, hung out a bunch more, gave shit to each other, everyone else went to bed. I wrote quite a few posts late in the evening. Went to bed at 1-ish.
