I had dined here about a year ago. That day I had purchased a beautiful painting for my apartment at a street fair in the West Village and I asked our waitress at the time if she would mind putting it behind the counter as there really wasn't room for it near our table. A few days later I realized I had forgotten to take the painting with me when I left. I called the restaurant and they told me to come by anytime to get it. Then I got busy and time passed and well, I just never went back! Fast forward to today - Sunday March 1, 2009. I was dining there again when I remembered the painting. Not expecting them to have it - I asked Rakel, who was working there this evening if she would check and see if my "art" was still in the basement. I told her it was a painting but I could not at all remember what it looked like. She said she would call someone and let me know. Later as I dined she came walking over with this really cool painting and presented it to me expectantly. I glared at it not knowing if it was my painting or not. I sat staring at it waiting for something to pop out of my memory. Then I asked her to turn it sideways and saw two eyes looking back at me and there it was - my painting! I remembered it and not only that, I remembered how much I loved it.
I am so grateful to Rakel for getting the painting for me and for Quantum Leap for holding on to this painting for me for almost a full year! This was a wonderful kind moment! This is the painting in the picture.
