A Minute with Ira Joe
9.14.09 | Panic. My Thursday restaurant is crowded. Again. All summer it was wide
open. I’d stop by any time between eleven-thirty and one o’clock and
glide right up to a vacant two-seater. Sometimes a four-seater. Becoming
a regular I had risen above standing and trying to appear nonchalant as I
tried to catch the eye of the smiling server (who, I think, had once been
a waitress) so she would gesture me to a seat at a table.
