Sparkling

We went to Alice's to celebrate our 30th -- we'd gone there for our 29th, too -- and though Alice had the night off, the kitchen was in top form, and of course Tony provided his usual wry but perfect service.

So we feasted on two kinds of duck (Shu-Mai, and glazed with cranberry), coconut shrimp and the velvet robe of perfect night air.

We were about to go when the guys at the next table, who'd been together 38 years, sent over perfect little glasses of bubbly moscato to toast our little celebration.

Perfect.
