A couple of weeks ago was such a week. Then, I had lunch with one of my \u201cangel\u201d girlfriends at Seven Bistro, a restaurant near Penn Station. My friend took me to lunch, showered me with gifts (even though it was not my birthday) and reminded me of whom I am on my best days. I hope that all of you have wonderful friends who refresh you at just the right time \u2013 like my friend Tia. We all need great women in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Tia has impeccable taste so I knew that her restaurant pick would be special. Seven Bistro was definitely a pleasant surprise. I have visited the Penn Station area of Manhattan often, so I\u2019m sure that I have walked past this spot many times. I just never thought about\u00a0going inside. That was my loss. The decor at Seven Bistro was simple but upscale. The service was warm and friendly. (I especially appreciated that the waiter didn\u2019t hover\/gave us our space. We needed that time to catch up!) The food and drinks were also excellent.<\/p>\n<p>Tia and I both love the color pink, so we started off with <em>Pink Lady<\/em> cocktails (X-Rated Fusion Liqueur topped with Prosecco). The drink was perfect for me because it had a fruity taste and wasn\u2019t too strong.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31213 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PINK-LADY-X-Rated-Fusion-topped-with-Prosecco.jpg\" alt=\"PINK LADY cocktail - X Rated Fusion topped with Prosecco\" width=\"455\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PINK-LADY-X-Rated-Fusion-topped-with-Prosecco.jpg 455w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PINK-LADY-X-Rated-Fusion-topped-with-Prosecco-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PINK-LADY-X-Rated-Fusion-topped-with-Prosecco-300x396.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, we shared a small plate of <em>Lemon Spiced Calamari<\/em>.
