On the other hand. . . .

In sharp contrast to the crappy service at the Silent H, we also checked out the new tapas place on the corner of North 8th and Wythe, Nita Nita. We had stopped by for a quick drink on Saturday, but last night we stayed for dinner. First off, the place is beautiful. The lighting is dim, with tall tables and comfy wood stools, seemingly crafted for wide asses like mine (unlike the anorexia-butt, stools-of-torture at the otherwise lovely Dumont Burger). Sam the owner did a great job and not only that, but she's super nice and friendly. It did not surprise me one bit to learn she's a fellow Jersey girl.

We had the cheese plate, some chorizo, garlic shrimp and tortilla. All of it, excellent. Not only that, but they have two-for-one happy hour and a giant garden which will be amazing once Spring finally kicks in.  I'm going back on Thursday.

We had an upscale tapas place in my town (Lincoln, Nebr) where all the waitrons wore mock black turtlenecks and Dieter-style euro glasses. A small dish of three medium shrimpies with garlic was $9.50. Needless to say, they folded. The tapas I had in Hannover, Germany, on the other hand, were huge and four of us ate 4 plates of sardines, shrimp, squid, with four bottles of house wine and flan for less than 75 Euros (90.00).
I tried to convince the goofs here in town that tapas are supposed to be the food of the working masses and cheap, but they obviously knew more about restaurants and attitude than I.
Why did the restaurant on the moon close? No atmosphere.

Regarding those stools at Dumont Burger: I've got ass enough for ten men, and I find that the trick is to rotate them 45°, so that you're sitting on a diamond, rather than a square. Let me know if that works out for you.
