Vanessa's mom and Lebanese boyfriend Bo last summer opened a restaurant on Graham Ave. in Williamsburg called Odara, which serves a mixture of Brazilian and Lebanese food. Vanessa and I went in tonight -- stopping in for a respite from the rainy, cold night -- and just asked for some hummus and spinach and chickpeas, but we left with about seven pounds of food. The restaurant is struggling in the recession though, and Bo says he needs to sell it.
Clara, Vanessa's mom, said tonight that all of life's experiences come with some price, and sometimes the price is really big, almost unbearable. But she didn't make us pay any price for our dinner, and the food was delicious!
