Angela didn't expect Gael to bring her over to Brooklyn for their date night, considering he was pretty much keeping her away from the borough since she arrived in New York and stayed in Manhattan. They pulled up in front of a restaurant by the East River, and he told her they were only fifteen minutes away from his brownstone in Williamsburg.
The restaurant was near Brooklyn bridge, and with the darkening sky, their view from a secluded dining table on the corner by the window was the bridge and the New York City skyline; it was stunning. The atmosphere was romantic, enhanced by the live piano music, brick walls, gold chandeliers with warm lights, soft plush seating, and elegant flower arrangements. Traditional Tuscany cuisine was prepared in an old-fashioned brick oven that gave off that wood-smoky aroma and flavor. A menu of wine selections was completely Italian.
