Saturday 11.4.06
$20 - Pacifico Restaurant. Best of the best in Carroll Gardens. SOLID. Be it the hearty bloodies, the volcanic nachos, the bigass burrito (it's super fun to listen to old folks order..."errr, um, yes, may i have an order of the, um, eh, bigasssss burrito?") or the grubby, alcohol soaking brunch variety which is essentially eggs, cheese, beans, pico de gallo and tortilla served every which way w/ a different name.
$18 - One Girl Cookie For mini-cookies and espresso, this is the Carroll Gardens spot. 4 different little cookies for $2 on a cute lil plate. Evokes that Teatime feel. Cute.
$2 - MetroCard Off to Work
$2 - Starbucks Medium Coffee w/ Room
$23 - Li Hua Restaurant. Gets-the-Job-Done Korean Food w/ Chinese name. Odd. It ain't no 32nd Street K-food but I WANT MY KiMChee (must be sung like Dire Straits "i want my mtv").

Like all great service portals, this store was serving Mimosas on little trays and so quite happily, Tristan, Huey & I loitered until we asked about almost every item in the store. Tristan felt so bad that he even bought a $75 Jack Spade wallet. Sucka!!
