New York Conversations: Mercer Kitchen

I always hear the most bizarre conversations when I’m in Manhattan.  This time I was dining at Mercer Kitchen for New York Restaurant Week. This was my first restaurant week experience although it was not for lack of trying, which is sad for a self-proclaimed foodie. As my friends and I were enjoying our meal, I noticed a table of five girls next to us.

Silly me. I thought restaurant week was all about trying new things!
