La Belle Vie

Val! & Michael from Random New York in February 2007

Yesterday evening was really nice. Justin, Val! and I converged at 23rd street and 8th Ave to stand in line for a free preview of The Number 23. Unfortunately, we were not close enough to the front of the line and somehow 300 people managed to get in before we ever had a chance!

We were turned away, and opted to go have some coffee, which promptly turned in to a decision to have dinner. Val! called her friend Michael to come out and meet us. We wound up having coffee and eventually some Prosecco and dinner at La Belle Vie. The food was pretty good, but far from great. The service and ambiance, however, were perfect! We were there for probably over two hours sitting and chatting up a storm... I think I was the one doing most of the chatting. No wonder I had such a good time! I only have a couple of photos from last night, but feel free to check them out (along with some other ones that were taken over the coarse of the week).

Justin's friend from high school, a foreign exchange student, will be staying with us this weekend. He is in town from Switzerland! Here is to hoping that all turns out well. Nite nite!
