ASK FOR TABLE #3
It is the weekend and rather late on a Friday evening. For many, clearer heads and hungry stomachs will begin to bend one's will towards brunch in a few hours. A recent email reminded me of a hard-to-lose proposition if you're on the Upper East Side. My friend Kerry is behind the bar of the establishment on the southeast corner of 84th St. and 2nd Ave. Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-7pm. I haven't eaten there in some time, but I always found the food to be fine and the service irreproachable.
The latter point may have been because I was usually in the company of the aforementioned Kerry, who's lived above the restaurant for decades. In a city of transient citizens, Kerry has sunk deep roots into 2nd Avenue and remains a touchstone personality for many who arrive, stay, depart, and then return. Sitting at the corner open-window table with Kerry on a warm spring day was something to behold: as a parade of women would stop to chat with a man who seemed to know everyone. I got to know a number of great guys as well.
Kerry is an online jack of all trades who recently redesigned his entire site, which is an impressive online presence. He's got a gallery, a blog, a podcast, and a host of other stuff that indicates that he's keeping himself extremely busy.
And somehow, Kerry has the ability to convince ridiculously good looking women to loosen their clothes and be photographed for artistic purposes. Kerry, we need to get together again soon.
