My parents were coming in to visit me because they had a show to see later on in the evening. They have not been to my apartment in a while so they decided to come in a little early. My parents like to be on time and that morning it just was not going to happen for them. I wanted to have some brunch with them when they arrived because I know they would be starved. I told them to meet me at Penelope’s, a cozy brunch place near my apartment.

They took the train in because parking in the city could cost a small fortune. That is where the delays started. There was an incitement on the train so they were delayed about fifteen minutes arriving in Penn Station. I can feel the tension over the phone when I talked to them that morning after they found out. Finally they arrive and walk out of Penn Station to get a cab. They get in a cab and the first left the cabby takes he cuts off a cop car. He immediately gets pulled over. My dad laughed at the cabby for being such an idiot and got out of the cab. Now they were on the hunt for another cab. Long story short, they finally made it to Penelope’s and we had a delicious brunch filled with waffles, pancakes, two egg sandwiches, and a raspberry cake.
