Personaally, I think the fit would look better without the tee under the button up.
Yeah, it was slightly coolish in the shade. Should have worn my dark blue linen tshirt. :brick:

Obviously your choice, and it doesn’t look terrible, but I’m saying the button up shirt stands on its own, no need for anything (yellow or blue) umder it (don’t ditch the pants though ;))

I'm doing it. I'm eating inside for the first time since last March.
A Manhattan at Joe's downtown.

1) Good on you!
2) You look great.
3) What's in the menu? (Meaning what are you getting? Living vicariously….)
1) It happens to be right around our 5 year anniversary so good on us!
2) Thanks! Here's what I've got on:

Ezra Paul hopsack jacket
Benjamin Sartorial shirt
Phineas Cole trousers
Alden cordovan tassel loafers
Wardrobe Wimbledon square
3) oh man ok the stone crab legs were amazing. Had a lot of those. Also had shrimp cocktail, lobster tail, filet mignon, mac and cheese, finished with Delamain pale&dry cognac. All fantastic. Wouldn't recommend the claws though. Grainy, not too flavorful.

Man, my office is like one block away from Joe's but despite that I never went there because I saw their trash every morning. When I did end up going there, I was shocked at how good their food was.

Two of my favorite items anywhere are Joe's Dover Sole and Banana Cream Pie. Great restaurant. And, importantly, always great service.

Not gonna lie, I'm feeling it this morning. But "the Whale" appetizer has small portions of the crab legs, claws, lobster, and shrimp. And I only got an 8oz filet. Still, jacket definitely wasn't buttoning at the end.

I was so full at the end I didn't even get to try dessert but the banana cream pie sounds awesome. Will have to try that next time.
Happy Anniversary!

Thanks!

We ate at Wilson Hardware Friday night and they are now open until 0200. Wait staff still in masks for the time being. Arlington was hopping.

I expect it will take a while for this to settle out with businesses and such. I'm happy to keep the mask for Metro for example. My office is now maskless for the vaccinated but the building hasn't changed the rules for the common areas yet.
