The week that was -- those snows of 2010
Speaking of love, did anyone fall in love with a new restaurant during the big big snows of a year ago? Maybe it was a neighborhood joint, one you'd never been to, that came through for everyone.
But I'm interested in hearing about all of your memories of the week that was, in and out of restaurants, with or without love.

We walked to Los Amigos...it was awful, but they were open.

I did not fall in love with a new restaurant during Snowmaggedon 2010. However, I did get snowed in at my boyfriend's apartment for 2 or 3 days, can't remember exactly how long. Being a 20-something boy, the only food he had in his entire house were Hot Pockets (yuck!) and a Lean Cuisine panini sandwich (double yuck!). I was forced to live off said microwave food for over TWO DAYS!!!
As Joseph Conrad would say, "THE HORROR!!!!!"

Got off work the morning of the big snow, parked in the Caroline St garage (thanx Bmore). When I got to Bond St my neighbors were digging out cars on Bond & Aliceanna. Our group dug out dozens of cars that morning, Scotty from Koopers' leading the work. After, One Eyed Mikes' treated us to GM shots! Not love, but close.

So, Liz, after being cooped up with your boyfriend's bad food, did you ditch him? I am writing a story for The Sun about people whose lives were changed by last year's blizzards. The lovers who met shoveling. The married couple who divorced after all that togetherness. The restaurant that closed, the environmentalist who bought an SUV, yada, yada yada. All might be figments of my editors' imaginations, but if they're out there, I'm all ears. Please e-mail me (laura.vozzella@baltsun.com) if this describes you, Liz, or anyone else out there.

During last year's blizzard, we went to Ale Mary's one night for some much needed booze and food and being-out-of-the-house time, and were asked by the owner to leave immediately after having finished our meal (despite the fact that our server had just delivered a fresh round). "Other people are waiting for this table, and we need it to open up," he explained to us. We were more than happy to leave our beers there immediately (full though they were) and relocate to the Wharf Rat, where they happily took our money (there were six of us, and we drank a lot!) for the rest of the night. We gave them an extra large tip just because. It was a blizzard, and it's called neighborliness! We had a similarly hospitable experience at Birds of a Feather later in the week, where they seemed delighted to host us for several hours. We didn't bother with Ale Mary's again.
good story
