    Oh, I love the Wishing Well, lots of good memories. They seem to have kept up with the trends in cuisine. Maybe I’ll go again this summer.

  2. Teresa says:

    Matthew, the Well has done great things in the last year or so – revamped the menu, added special events, etc. And they’re on Twitter & Facebook, too.

    Awesome, August. Awesome. Thank you, and back at you. The Brooklyn Backstretch Valentine’s post will be up later this morning.

    The Filet Mignon was awesome Saturday Night, but they should really do a better job with the parking lot. It was Filled with Ice and my significant other had difficulties walking with heels, but I did chuckle when I passed the snow covered lawn jockey.

    The parking lot didn’t seem that much worse than others I was in over the weekend. But heels? In that weather? Wow. Intrepid.
