“I valet the car and walk to the hostess stand that’s just outside of Toast. “I’m meeting someone,” I say, motioning that I don’t need to be seated. The hostess/actress/model acts like I’ve insulted her in some way. She apparently wanted to reject me before I rejected her. I weave in between wooden tables, through couples who are both on cell phones, celebrities meeting and ‘eating’, your basic morning rituals.”
