Where Did We Loose It?

Planet Hollywood @ Time Square, Manhattan, April 07, Once_Again

“Here are your burgers. Now, I know we can’t charge your $10 for each, as it says on menu. It will be something like 4” She said while putting the plates on front of us. It was Saturday night. After coming out of a movie, we went to this local bar to grab something to eat. It had a large sitting area, but no table was taken. Few people were sitting at the counter: an African-American girl with her apple laptop and two white couples, each sitting separately. They seemed to be on date and were there for drinks after dinner. We had ordered burgers, but when they arrived, they were half of the usual size (with lots of meat though). “Why a menu change?” I asked from the bartender, and right then our conversation started. She was a young girl in her early 20’s, short blond hair, cute face with light pink sweater and blue jeans on. We were told that a new owner has recently bought the bar and is planning to turn it to a hip place, targeting the young crowd. They have just changed the menu and will re-decorate it soon too. We talked about the trends and how everything is being turned to fit the youth's taste. She made me a drink with Kaluha, Barleys and Hennessy. She also served an Irish coffee for my friend. It turned out that she was a collage graduate, majored in communication, bartending during nights and trying to get an acting role during day. She was planning to attend the graduate art school the next fall. Seemed a bit chubbier than the Hollywood shallow standards, I asked “Have you got any gigs yet?”. “No, I’ve been here only for nine months and my friends tell me that’s quite short time to get in and it may take much longer.” Hope could have clearly seen in her cheerful eyes. We paid our bill and on the way out, she called on us: "I will be here on Mondays and Thursdays too. Come and visit me." We walked out into cold while I was jealous to her for all her liveliness.
