It’s my first time in New York, my first time in Brooklyn, and my first time at a restaurant on the bucket list of every person who has a stick and poke tattoo: The Four Horsemen.
My short legs are slick under my new jean shorts as I sit à droite of the woman who managed to get us a 5pm table, manager and author Stephanie Mercier Voyer. I’m trying to play it cool. I’m giddy to be in New York, sit at this counter and be with Stephanie, who I’ve resolved to be friends with since I heard she hired prosthetists to dress her up as The Penguin for Halloween. Though I must admit, she is far better dressed for the heat today.
