A couple of weekends ago, I took the Ginger Ninja out for a fancy dinner to celebrate her new job. Since it was a celebration for her, she got to pick the place and found Nota Bene online (I believe through Chowhound’s discussion boards, a generally reliable source of restaurant information).

Found: The Kind of Guy Who’d Buy a Woven Collar Shirt
August 6, 2008 – 1:13 pm
