Last night we got together with Anne, Matt, and Charley for dinner at Koreana in Cambridge. It’s around the block and across Prospect Street from where Anne & Matt live. There’s lots of construction on their street (which is a little surprising for this recession) and the area is getting significantly upgraded. We could see spiffy touches like stairways with cable strung along for banisters as we looked in the windows.
Koreana was busier than they expected, and busier than they were ready to handle, for a Monday night. We thought it was because of all the students moving in (or rather, their parents treating them to a last non-dining-hall big meal before the start of school). Service was so slow that they brought us complimentary desserts, a little scoop of ice cream wrapped in rice paste.
