Why should kids have all the fun?
Last summer, I went on a date at Bernie’s, a popular, modern Brooklyn restaurant masquerading as an old-school red sauce joint — red lacquer booths and maraschino cherry-dolloped sundaes and all. Each white-paper-covered table is set with utensils, glasses — and a box set of Crayola crayons. Naturally, or so I thought, I suggested we both try and do tipsy little blind contour portraits of each other. He obliged — albeit begrudgingly.

And, if everything goes well, it’s nice to think that your mementos of that dinner live on after you pay and leave. That is, at least, until the table is reset for the next couple.
