Just to summarize my weekend. The day was Saturday and I was all set to go out on my first date with a pretty Italian girl from Queens. My plan was to take her to my favorite eatery in the city, 'The Flying Buritto'. You may have seen it as a location on 'Law and Order' and the movie 'Addicted to Love'. Much to my chagrin, 'The Flying Buritto' was no longer there. Closed! Gone was the quaint little bar/retuarant where velvet elvi lined the walls. Gone was the place I first had Rolling Rock beer. Gone were the best nachos in Manhattan. In its place was a generic Irish pub. Nothing against Irish pubs, I'm half Irish myself, but to lose a place of such charater is regretable. I suppose for a place of that size its a more cost efficient use of the space to concentrate on selling liquor rather than food. Damm the accountants. This is truly a sad loss for New York City.
