West Village, Seventh Avenue South at Bleecker Street

Okay, I've had my haircut; it's good though not fabulous; it's about 5:20 and I have nothing planned.  Naturally, I think of that great wine bar around the corner on 7th Avenue.  Centro Vinoteca.

Now I'm inside, looking out.  You can see the grid marks of the window or screen or whatever they're marks of.  And if you enlarge either of these photos, you can see that it was snowing. 

It was very, very pleasant sitting there with a quarto of syrah and chicken liver pate as it slowly got darker outside.  Once in a while the waiter stopped by to chat.  He was from Croatia.  There are times when my whole body is filled with contentment and gratitude that I can live in New York and this was surely one of them.
