I got duped y’all.
Sunday morning Mom and Dad were all ‘remember the Dakota? Get ready! We’re going dancing Henry!’ We haven’t been to the Dakota in months, and as soon as they mentioned it I was jonesing for some bluegrass brunch. And then … my Grandma and Grandpa had gotten there early to get us a prime spot, and they called us to let us know the wait was going to be over an hour for a table. Boo. I think you can all imagine that the little sis was not going to be waiting patiently in a brunch line for any length of time longer than 5 minutes. Me on the other hand, well … :) In any case, my Dakota dreams were sorely dashed.
So we agreed to part ways right as our fam approached Queen West in the car. Mom and Dad parked and thought we could try for a spot at Swan or the County General, but alas, foiled again. We ended up peering in the window of a new-ish spot, Parkette, and decided to give it a try when we saw an empty table just begging for us to sit down. (Please forgive me for the less than stellar pics folks … Mom had forgotten the camera so it was iPhone or bust.)
