le.madeleine

I went to the big apple this weekend to visit my aunt n. and to see spamalot. We do this every year in september or october, although we don't always see spamalot. We pick a new one each year. It was hilarious- as I'd heard, and despite being caught in a flash flood, we had a great time. We went to le madeleine for dinner at 4:30pm. Yup- we ate like old folks, although we didn't get any early-bird specials. It was delicious. It turns out that the landlord is trying to kick them (and the 12 rent-controlled tenants) out so they can demolish the building. Anything to make more money, huh? They still have 4 more years on the lease with an option for 8 more, and are fighting the eviction notice in court. They have a petition they're trying to get folks to sign, so you should check it out, and sign it if you agree with them. I did.
