nathan chow:

i went to a little (reeeally little) jamaican restaurant called Ortanique near harvard square for lunch. i went with my food buddies mike c. and katie, and mike also brought sabrina. we had an adventure walking there after getting off the T. the food at ortanique was delicious and relatively cheap. i had a three-meat sampler and chose the jerk chicken, ox tail, and escabeche fish.. the dish also came with rice and plantains. not only was the food good, but the service was great as well. the food was served in under 10 minutes and the owners were incredibly friendly.

i’m trying to visit as many ethnic restaurants in boston as possible. if you have a recommendation or would like to go somewhere with me, let me know! =)

at night i went to the Salsa Gala at the Cambridge Hyatt with a bunch of my hispanic friends and their friends. i also bumped into vanessa and her friends. i walked home with jen and erika, two of the many new friends i made. today’s episode is brought to you by the word friend.

jen: did you know all those people you danced with?
nathan: yeah.
jen: oh, we thought u were just really good at picking up girls.

by the way, jacqueline and i were the only non-lame people for dancing the whole night instead of sitting in the lounge or leaving early.
