![]() Since the weather has turned to snow, I abandon my original plan to walk through the Western Cemetery, and the surrounding neighborhood full of grand homes, several of which are John Calvin Stevens designs. I enjoy a breakfast of yogurt, granola, and kiwi slices followed by French toast covered in fresh blackberries and strawberries with maple bacon. I wake up to the smell of breakfast cooking, and although I lollygag in bed for a good long while, I eventually get up and start the day. Instead we head back to the Danforth’s billiard room. But after filling our heads with stories and our bellies with noodles, we don’t last long at the party. It’s getting late, but we decide to head over to Flask Lounge, where the night’s guest DJ, Jamie O’Sullivan, is being joined by the Psychologist, who’s providing video. We share a bottle of luscious Hanahato Densho Gingo sake. We stuff ourselves with a fried breaded oxtail appetizer, steamed buns with braised pork belly, a selection of yakitori skewers, and ramen noodles. ![]() Since it’s Joe’s big night, we ask him to decide where we are going to eat. During the intermission, we take in Space’s current exhibition, which includes works by artists Kimberly Convery, Cat Bates, and Will Sears. The last speaker tonight will be our own Joe Ricchio. We arrive to a packed house ready to hear six brave souls deliver 10-minute-long tales without notes. On our way to Space, we peek through the windows of June Fitzpatrick Gallery, craning our necks to get a glance at the Avy Claire show as we rush by. Although we have plans for dinner after Slant, we order queso fundido con champiñones to tide us over. Sergio Ramos, managing partner at Zapoteca, brings us a taste of El Jimador Añejo tequila as a special treat. Zack orders the Blood Orange Margarita and I get my favorite: Gran Centenario Reposado tequila. We have a hankering for tequila and are greeted with a selection of more than 90 bottles. I meet my friend Zack at Zapoteca before we head over to Space Gallery for the Telling Room’s Slant Storytelling Series. I check in to the Danforth and take a quick tour of the nearly 200-year-old building, which has been lovingly restored and redecorated by owner Kim Swan and her hospitable staff.
