  • K. That was absolutely the most romantic hour of my day, of my, well, ...in a very long time. I am as shamelessly hopeful as they come. And though I am seriously working on jading up, I don't think I was the only one in the mid-day line-up for a picnic-basket-lunch feeling the power and camaraderie of Friday, of sun, of tree greenery spring, of warmth, and satiating healthy appetites with good food, drink, and lovingly crafted Bourbon! It started with me not writing down the exact address for the Eastern Bloc on Clark, not easily spotting it while in the vicinity, realizing I was really hungry, winding up locking the bike aside the Parc du la Petite Italie, wholly focused on the quest for the 'right' nourishments, spotting several picnickers with baskets of food and drink on red & white checkered table cloths, asking about, then being pointed toward, the source. And discreet it is. No indication, outwardly, that something really special is going on. Until you get closer. No signage on the building nor in the window. But the height-of-lunch lineup and the buzz in DTC's small lunch takeout kitchen-side section was furious for the next 30 mins(?). By the time I'd gotten to the counter, ordered, waited outside. waited inside, chatted with Nicole about the circa 1970's race horse photos (spent many a summers eve and weekend at Assiniboin Downs in the late 60's), about Victoria BC, MTL transplanting, and my chicken was cooked, (whew...still with me, it was a good wait! =D) the lunch frenzy had subsided and I had to get back to work. So I didn't eat in the park, and took my brown bagged (fried spicy chicken, roasted sweet potato, with a very interesting side of sauce) lunch home. Half way through our conversation I learn Nicole is an owner of this biz. Jeez, she had the biggest smile the whole while she was co working it! This is a sincere labour of big big love. So beautiful. Lunch was excellent. I will go back. Plan the time. This is not fast food fare. Next time I will include both park time, and a beautiful bourbon elixir, or two. And, perhaps, a friend. Pretty special. Do the DTC park picnic lunch in Little Italy thing and let yourself -eyes wide open- have this extraordinary robust moment of Montreal romance. =D Cheers, Tammy M
