In my entire life, I have never once become dizzy from not eating all day. It's just never happened and it occurred to me that this passed Saturday, I just didn't have any time. Spontaneous recitals and rehearsals set me back when it came to food. Luckily enough for me, instead of going home after a long day, my dad was at the opera (for the second time and I haven't even gone once this season!!!) and I could go out to dinner with my parents. The only question was, where am I going to be able to go without fainting.
It had to be that good that I would walk all the way from the upper west 80's to Lincoln Center to get food. That place was Rosa Mexicano. I haven't been for a while and I just got the craving for a really good Mexican meal and I knew exactly what I wanted. The only trouble was getting there without a reservation on a Saturday night right before the night showing of the opera was getting in.
My parents were very skeptical about the idea, though I just had a feeling that we could get to the restaurant and get a table. It was a crazy feeling, though a feeling never the less. There was no way they were going to give me the satisfaction of taking a cab or the subway there. They were going to make me work for it and I knew it, so I walked in my fatigued state in hopes of finding a table at the most popular restaurant in Lincoln Center under the conditions we had.
Finally getting down there, we walked into the restaurant and they told us that we'd have to wait about 30 minutes, and I would wait it out if I had some thing to drink and then they told us that they had a table ready. I felt like a psychic and I was really pleased with perseverance to get to this place. It turned out that they actually had a few open tables that night.
Like I said before, I knew exactly what I wanted. We first ordered the guacamole to share amongst us and then I got the carne asada which is one of my all time favorite dishes (only from there though, and maybe La Condesa) and a coke (to wake me up and satisfy my caffeine addiction). It was exactly as I envisioned it and perfect. A nice table and I nice meal, I'm glad I work for food. After we ate my dizziness had subsided and I was finally full for once in the day!
