Contributing to history. NYC vote. A 2.5 hour wait.
Scrapbook inserted.
A comfortable 59 degrees defined the climate today. I attempted to vote early this morning, and had to throw in the towel- as the situation was comparable to the bread line in Communist Era Russia- and I had two meetings in Manhattan. Upon return to the Slope, I met up with Vadim to do our part in defining history. We walked to our poll location: a yellowing middle school that rested a few blocks away. True Brooklyn accents snaked around the gymnasium, a few cops lazed in a corner. A neighbor waved from his place behind us in line.
After completing our task, we rewarded ourselves with Indian food from Kinara. I don't often choose this particular restaurant, but on occasion it seems right. The service is excellent, the food has its strong points: appropriately spiced, balanced and owns a certain level of complexity. The Chicken Masala is buttery and well matched with the Saffron Rice and Vegetable Samosas. Have a Taj Mahal while you're there. You deserve it.
Kinara is usually pretty empty, but don't let that turn you away. If you're around during lunch- they offer 50% off eat-in specials.
South Slope, 473 Fifth Avenue at 11th Street. See the NY Mag review here.
