I started my evening with Erik and Ben at Bar 288, better known as the Tom & Jerry bar. A Tom & Jerry is an alcholic type of egg nog that was very popular in the fifites. Bar 288 has shelves full of Tom & Jerry bowls, thus the bar’s nickname. The mouse and cat cartoon duo came after the drink, making their names all the funnier. The bar has a duo of cats that wander around soaking up the infinite attention.
Luckily, Ben and Erik turned into Jos and Mihaela, my old book club chums. Book Club never dies. Ever.
