Quaint food
I love the quaintness of the Grove where everyone knows everyone else, even if you don't really know them!
I walked into Cozzoli's and ordered take out. The guy behind the counter knew me from my order! He asked if I was Tom from such-and-such address. He knew me from my usual phoned in delivery order! He didn't recognize me, he recognized the order.
My neighbor George owns Le Bouchon, across the street from Cozzoli's. When the Cozzoli guy delivers, I have to be sure George doesn't see him or he asks why I am ordering from the guy across the street and not from him. I don't even think he delivers, but either way, it's funny.
When I got my take-out order from Cozzoli's I had to sneak out so George wouldn't see me from across the street on Main Highway.

Oh lawd, flashback! In the early to mid 90's I was a Grove rat (I was in high school and that was all there was to do). And since Cozzoli's was so cheap, we ate there all the time and stayed hanging out afterwards. I loved the juke box. I would play Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" over and over and over again. Good times.
There was a Sex and the City episode about one of the characters that always made the same order from a Chinese restaurant. As for why I know this, don't ask. It's my wife's fault.
