Sometimes, you just have to feed that inner intellectual, the nerd, the geek, the schoolkid who actually studied. Or at least I do, but then, I grew up as one of those. It was a natural for me, when contacted by a group of business students here on a several month study program, to offer up a dinner based on something in the readin’, writin’, ‘rithmetic world - and since the date, February 7, is, as we all know, the day when math folk everywhere celebrate the mathematical constant e. Now, like π (pi), it’s one of those numbers that goes on ad nauseum, but the important part when it comes down to the festivities, is that it starts 2.7…. February 7… oh, those wacky math geniuses (just wait until March 14… 3.14… and our Pi Dinner). Now, what does one serve for the annual Day of e? Why, things that start with the very same letter… (by the way, if you look closely at the menu you'll see the page is watermarked with the opening digits of e, about the first 3,200 of them...).
Thoughts from some of our guests:
Honestly, I think I speak for all of us when I say that the entire experience was amazing (except for our friend being a half hour late). Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. And thanks for the Don Julio recommendation, we ate there a couple of nights ago and it was excellent." - S.S.
