Going uptown is always an awesome treat. The sights, sounds and splendor of Harlem are invigorating.
Today I boxed and dropped off a Glazed Lemon Pound Cake to my friend, Charles, at Native, a charming little restaurant situated at the northwest corner of 118th Street and Lenox Avenue, also known as Malcolm X Blvd. I ended up staying to enjoy Happy Hour with some delightful people at the bar. I can’t remember all that we discussed, but the Blueberry Stoli Vodka Tonics flowed liberally, thanks to a very attentive bartender. Names are a blur except for Connie, who gave me her card. She and her friends, a New Yorker, transplanted in Western Wisconsin who sells Mary Kay on the side and a dapper gentleman from Britain were lovely company. It was my first visit to Native, but not my last as the fried calamari that appeared on the bar is just the Fat Girl Snack needed to facilitate my return. |

You too can order a cake and have it delivered for $20 plus transportation. Distance is not a factor, but note that if you send an airline ticket, I will fly in and bake the cake in your kitchen free of charge.
