cafe gitane and strong men

2 things

1: cafe gitane is for sure the cutest little place to eat in soho--possibly all of lower manhattan.

2: i can't go out with a skinny dude.

i realized this when i was looking at all the skinny dudes in cafe gitane. how is a skinny dude going to protect me from evil, bully neighbors in my office building? how is a skinny dude going to lift an entire car with one hand--if i needed him to? how is a skinny dude going to rescue me?

bonnie tyler said it best:



"I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight ...

It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet"

yes it is, bonnie. yes it is.


some pics from gitane. i wouldn't drink the tap water they put on the table. i sat at the bar and watched the dishwasher fill them up. it wasn't very sanitary.
