Ethnicity :: Personal Narrative Racial Papers

EthnicityWhile I was first contemplating this project, I was sitting on my older-than-the-hills browned couch in my apartment. My roommate, Michelle, plopped on the couch opposite me and asked, What do you want to do for lunch? I dunno, I responded while channel surfing by the five channels we receive.Lets go out and try something new, she utter daringly.I thought to myself, hmm, I could do a project and extinguish out at the same time? Ok, where should we go? Suddenly, as if it was a sign from above, a commercial for Santa Lucias, the Greek restaurant in town, appeared on the television. Instantly, we knew it was the stake to go. Good Better Best, Never Let it Rest, Until the Good Becomes Better and the Better Becomes the Best, the commercial kept echoing in my head on the steering there-wait, no that was my roommate who would not quit repeating Santa Lucias motto. On the way there we looked at each other and said simultaneously, Should we have dressed up for it? Well, I said, on the commercial it doesnt look like too classy of a place. I think we are fine.Good, I hope so, said Michelle as she looked down at our jeans and t-shirts. Our hopes were confirmed as we pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant, which is tucked away in the corner behind West Park elevator car Plaza. There were beer signs littering the windows. It could not be that classy of a place. Right? What do they serve here, Heather? Am I going to like it? asked Michelle, who by the way is the pickiest eater in the world.I hope so, I responded as we entered the building. Uh-oh. Maybe we should have dressed up, I thought to myself out loud for a instant while taking in the view. When you enter from the street into the building its like you are entering a completely different world. The lighting is dim. Tables for two, four, sestet and eight are scattered throughout the room in the usual non-smoking and smoking sections. The tables themselves are unique looking. The wooden tables and chairs are set on the plushy carpet. The black tablecloths are topped with a shiny glass cover. The tables are set with silverware and wine glasses with a napkin creatively set inside. The whizz thing that caught my eye was the statue and the fountain.
