goodness gracious


earlier this week the nicest thing happened. i work as a hostess at a popular west village restaurant, where reservations are hard to come by. late sunday afternoon a woman called about changing her early evening res to a later time that night. the middle evening seating is incredibly packed but the woman seemed nice and i  was feeling generous. 
i knew she was appreciative but never imagined to what extent. around midnight some friends and i passed by the restaurant on the way to a bar, the hostess' waved me inside and handed me a gift (chocolate truffles) and a hand written thank you note from the woman i had spoken to. 

that's just the nicest thing imaginable. for all the bullshit and bullshit people you put up with in the city, it's so nice to see genuinely good people on occasion.
