But I can't stop thinking of, "Stephen! Fuck you, Stephen! Stephen -- Come back here."<br /><br />DB- I can tell you an interesting story about Palatka.<br /><br />M Lane- That rum should go nicely with the soundtrack I provided.<br /><br />Smitty- I smoked everything (until 4 yrs ago) but cigars were something different. Like most ex-smokers, I can't stand cigarette smoke but when I smell a cigar -- it still connects to something deep inside me where ribeye, single malt, lapsang souchong and truffles all hangout together. <br /><br />Oyster Guy- Lucky you. In NYC, there are these guys on the street who keep asking me if I'm Jewish.<br /><br />Jeff- Great to hear it's still a hotel. I had heard it was converted to condos. Sadly, Britches is history. Mark Rykken, now of Paul Stuart, told me a fascinating story of the demise.

Except, perhaps, even more Samba from the continued influx of Brazilians.<br /><br />I live down the street from the Mayfair and it is still a hotel (and spa). And each room still has a soaking tub.<br /><br />http://www.mayfairhotelandspa.com/<br /><br />I miss Britches of Georgetown.
