James, Joanna and I had a nice trip to New Rochelle to visit our friend Angi. We took Metro North railroad from Grand Central and got there in half an hour. I have not been to Angi's place before and because of the fact that we had to take a train other than the subway to get there, I expected to see a house with a driveway and grass. But to my surprise we ended up going into a multi-story apartment building which in fact used to be Bloomingdales department store.

First we went to Angi's parents' apartment for dinner. They really made us feel at home. The highlight of the dinner was the Fatty Pork. Before I saw it I was very skeptical because I don't like to eat meat with lots of fat. But this one was so tender, it really melted in my mouth. It took 5 hours to cook it!

After having dinner at went to Angi's apartment for dessert. The modern look of her apartment was totally opposite to the old-fashioned style of her parents' apartment. Going for the desert was like a leap from the past into the future. As usual I found the most comfortable piece of furniture.

We finished off the night at a club called Zen Tango. Contrary to the name there was not tango dancing there at all. Shortly after we got there the DJ put on some cool 80's disco songs and we kicked off the dancing on the dancefloor. They were serving all kinds of drinks there including something called James. I was so inspired by the drinks that on the way back I got a bartender job in the bar car.
