El miércoles pasado, fui a Chelsea Piers con algunos amigos de mi equipo de softbol de este verano para practicar al bateo. Por supuesto, porque estaba el Cinco de Mayo, después fuimos a un restaurante Mexicano cerca de Chelsea Piers para comer y (claro que sí) beber. Porque es lo más cerca que encontremos, fuimos a Tequila Chito's en el calle veinte y tercero entre las avenidas octava y novena. Porque estaba el Cinco de Mayo, el restaurante estaba muy lleno de gente, pero no esperábamos mucho tiempo antes de recibir una mesa.
Desafortunadamente, la primera mesa que recibimos estaba muy cerca de los altavozes, y la música estaba muy fuerte. Pedimos y recibimos otra mesa más lejos de los altavozes, y después pedimos unas bebidas. Unos minutos más tarde, recibimos las bebidas (una cerveza para Janssen, y algunas margaritas para mí y Emily y Tom), y también ordenemos nuestra comida. Si las margaritas no fueron las mejores de todas las margaritas que he bebido en mi vida, tampoco no fueron las peores.
Emily disfruta su margarita:
Tom bebe delicadamente:
A Janssen le gusta el olor de su cerveza:
Algunos minutos más tarde, recibimos nuestra comida. Estaba bastante bien, pero pedimos salsa caliente y el camarero no lo nos traí, hasta que lo pedimos otra vez mientras estábamos pidiendo mas bebidas, y cuando finalmente lo recibimos, casi hemos acabado de comer. Pero, entonces, nos traí más bebidas que no hemos pedido, y estábamos muy feliz.

Más tarde, nuestra amiga Nicole llegué, y traí pastelillos pequeños de Baked By Melissa:
Y, claro, también disfrute una margarita en su cumpleaños:
En totalidad, fue una buena noche, pero yo no volvería al mismo restaurante a menos que estaría muy cerca de lo.

I guess that it is a good sign that I remember enough Spanish to get the jist of this post without using "BabelFish" or Google to translate :). I still need a lot of work understanding people speaking spanish.
ReplyDeleteYour Margaritas look a lot better than the ones I had.
Here's a translation, since someone asked for it, EMILY:
ReplyDeleteI have a great idea: I'm going to write this entry of "Josh Eats" in Spanish. Mrs. Gerson and Mrs. Gordon (my Spanish teachers in high school) would be very proud!
Last Wednesday, I went to Chelsea Piers with some friends from my summer softball team for batting practice. Of course, because it was Cinco De Mayo, afterward we went to a Mexican restaurant near Chelsea Piers to eat and (of course) drink. Because it's the closest one we found, we went to Tequila Chito's on Twenty-Third Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Because it was Cinco De Mayo, the restaurant was very crowded, but we didn't wait very long before we got a table.
Unfortunately, the first table we got was very close to the speakers, and the music was really loud. We asked for and received a different table further from the speakers, and after that we ordered drinks. A few minutes later, we received them (a beer for Janssen, and margaritas for Emily and Tom and me), and also ordered our diner. If the margaritas weren't the best I've ever had, they also weren't the worst.
Emily enjoys her margarita:
Tom drinks delicately:
Janssen likes the smell of his beer:
A little later, we got our food. It was pretty good, but we asked for hot sauce and the waiter didn't bring it to us, until we asked for it again while we were ordering another round of drinks, and when we finally did get it, we had almost finished eating. But, then, he brought us more drinks that we hadn't ordered*, and we were very happy.
de comer.

Later, our friend Nicole arrived, and she brought tiny cupcakes from Baked By Melissa:
And, of course, she also enjoyed a margarita on her birthday:
Overall, it was a fun night, but I wouldn't return to the same restaurant unless I was right nearby.
(Disclaimer: I haven't spoken or written in Spanish in a few years, and maybe there are errors in this post. Forgive me.)
* Yes, I know that's an oversimplification, but I didn't really want to go into TOO much detail about why we got the other round of drinks.
