On a beautiful Monday Night after our game at Roosevelt Island where the Crazy Lizards softball team pummeled some woebegone opponents 19-7 with the help of my 3 hits :) , we ended up at the Sutton Place Rooftop Bar which is walking distance from the Roosevelt Island Tram. Speaking of the Tram, I'm afraid of heights and all I could think about was what I'd do if the Green Goblin showed up and tried to make Spiderman choose between us and Mary Jane Watson, but I digress...
Sutton is a great scene. This was a Monday so it wasn't crazy and we got to enjoy good conversation without the pretentious people that normally frequent a place with $7+ Beers and $12+ Cocktails. It would have been awkward wearing our Crazy Lizards tees surrounded by cocktail dresses and business suits.
Now, I'm not one for rules, but I do have one (yes, only one). When drinking outdoors, drink something that requires a fruit. If you close your eyes, it feels like you're on vacation. Our waitress Cyce from Frisco suggested the Steak Fries which she informed me were "seasoned with Magic". I doubt this Muggle knew the first thing about magic, but I ordered a basket and a Corona (of course).

They came fresh and hot. They had just the right amount of crispness for Steak Fries. You need their innards (that's right, innards) to be soft in order to really enjoy them, but you don't want them to be soggy and formless. As I suspected, there was no "magic" on them but they didn't need it. A little S & P and that good ol' 57, and they were good to go!
