In Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow – Keith and Linda

I love Korean food and a little over a week ago I went to Tarrytown to try out a Korean restaurant I’d never noticed before: Bibillé.

I was a little early, and I was standing outside the restaurant waiting for it to open. The couple in the picture were also standing there. They weren’t waiting for it to open as I was. They’d already eaten. Rather they were perusing the menu in the window. We struck up a conversation and I discovered that they had recently moved from California to Ossining.

We talked for some time, and I asked them if I could take the photograph above, and they agreed. Keith gave me his business card (he’s a chess coach) so that I could send him the picture, which I did. I’d enjoyed the conversation so much that in the email transmitting the picture I asked if they’d like to get together sometime for coffee or lunch or something. They agreed and I hope to see them again soon.
