Hard times at Kabab Cafe

[shunn]

I was half-listening to WNYC this morning as I made the last preparations to leave, when suddenly I heard my friend Ali's voice on the radio. We had noticed that his restaurant, Kabab Cafe, has been closed since the blackout, and we keep stopping by to see if it is open yet.

Here is a transcript of the radio story.

I am going there for my birthday next week, should it be open yet by then, and would whether or not the place had had so much trouble. Those of you we've taken there will understand!

Oh well -- I guess that means it's out for dinner tonight. :-( I can't believe Con Ed is still holding onto that ridiculous limit.

Oh, give Ali my best and tell him I still have fond, drooling memories of the dinner I had there with you and Laura.

I know. I was bummed about that.

We will have to content ourselves with some of the neighborhood's second-tier offerings.

I certainly and absolutely will!

Indeed we do. When I read the part about all the food he had to throw away, my soul hurt a little. Please tell Ali that his fans in Seattle wish him open doors and aromatic ovens very soon. And here's hoping we can join you and Laura there again before too long.

Consider it conveyed, and huzzah!
