Went on a walk along the river at lunch today. The weather was lovely, slightly cloudy with a cool breeze, and just a small smattering of droplets as I was coming back to work. And of course the restaurants by the river were almost deserted for some reason. A shame.
I'm mostly writing this because of my dessert saga. I walked by the overpriced gelato stand and thought I wanted some dessert, but not gelato, so on the way back I walked up the stairs to Goddess & the Baker. They had a lot of little cakes but no coconut bars, so I left and went back to the riverwalk. I stopped at the cafe at Tiny Tap but they only had ice cream, so I went back to work. But on the way, I realized that the restaurant at work has cookies, so I got in the elevator and went up the cafe only to be met with a locked door and a sign that said they were only open from 10 a.m. to noon due to Labor Day next week. I went back down to the lobby and checked the cafe there, but they didn't have any real desserts on the menu, so I went back to my desk and the long and short of it is that I did not get dessert.
Alas.
