Dinner at L’Express, Park Avenue, around 11 p.m.
Two women, in their late thirties, probably slightly under the influence, were flirting with a waiter who was born in Colombia.
‘So, you have the peso,’ one of the women said, ‘but with my dollar I can get lots of pesos?’
‘Absolutely,’ the waiter responded.
‘We should go there,’ the woman said, ‘and you should be our tour guide.’
‘I’ll be your tour guide,’ the waiter said.
‘I cannot wait to be with you in Colombia,’ the woman continued, ‘but first we have to go back to Williamsburg.’
