Eater Albany Novels & Stories

Reese took me to a restaurant, ten blocks away from the Company in her car. It was a large restaurant, not just any restaurant. Alexander's. "The Boss owns this as well. It's one of the best restaurants here in Italy. Important people come to eat here. You can connect to many people here, you just have to find the right seat." She flashed me a smile. The place looked rich, smelled rich, and would probably sell a plate of spaghetti for five hundred thousand dollars. God please! It shouldn't cost more than that! "Let's eat this. You'll love it, Katherine. I know New York has delicious meals but wait till you eat this." She said and handed the menu to the waiter.

Jonea wanted Aland’s sincere smile like last night when he gave his best smile to the girl in his apartment. Jonea shook her head and shook off the image. She imagined too much about things she shouldn’t think about Aland and that girl. Jonea took a step back to keep her distance from Aland. “Hey, Aland! You came here early in the morning? We haven’t even opened yet.” Beside Ed stood Hunter, who had just arrived with his personal driver. Aland didn’t seem surprised to see the two of them coming. Because ed had previously recommended this fried chicken restaurant to Aland.

I dart back into the living room and over to the elevator. Next to the doors is a panel with several buttons on it, including one that's flashing and says "Entry" above it. I hit the button, and a moment later I hear the elevator moving, bringing the pizza guy up to us. Not even an hour ago, I was excited about trying some authentic New York pizza. Now, though, I can't even think about food. I saw Alex naked. Felt him naked. Wanted him to stay on top of me and -

Even though I ate at the diner two times a week, Andy’s bacon grilled cheese hit the spot. “You can’t tell me you aren’t the tiniest bit curious.” Adley smirked, pointing at me with her cheese-coated french fry. “Their territory is huge, and the setting changes each year. Plus, no one’s ever seen the Game Maker’s face. If I got an invitation, I’d use my cunning nature and find the Game Maker.” “You? Cunning?” I snorted, collapsing into laughter. “Okay, so I’m not a mischievous trouble maker like some but I’m not completely inept.” Adley scoffed, tossing a french fry at me in disapproval.

Alison, with a dramatic flourish, placed her tiny hand on her stomach and said, "I want to eat some nuggets, mommy." "Alright then, let's go satisfy that nugget craving of yours," I said, taking her little hand in mine as we strolled through the mall, scanning for a dining spot. We came across a fast-food joint that served nuggets, mouth-watering cupcakes, and other delightful treats. Without hesitation, I steered Alison into one of the chairs.

“ Me, too. So, why don't we go to the same place to eat lunch. My treat for the new personal assistant of the Tiger.” Edward insisted and everyone laughed happily. “ Okay.” They all agreed. As the elevator door opened, they happily get out and went together to Greenwich. “ What shall we order, guys?” Edward looked at them happily. “ Why don't we order two large pizza's that has 4 different toppings ? ” Tiffany suggested. “ That's right. Then, let's add some bundle fries and fried chicken. “ Hannah eagerly added. “ What else do you like to order, Miss Artates? “ Edward stared at Danielle with

“Check it out.” “Thanks, we will,” Amy called back. “Yeah, I like this place.” “Me too,” I said. “Let’s stop at the diner for a bite on the way home.” We climbed into her car and drove to the diner called Edgar’s Eats. After parking in the gravel lot, the drab, worn exterior almost changed our minds about going inside to eat. “It doesn’t look like much, but those girls told us the food is good here,” Amy said as we hesitated getting out of her car. “We should give it a chance.”

“But I bet you haven’t tried this one thing I am about to show you.” Alex asked Eden to follow her. They took one turn from the thrift shop street, and there it was. Food stalls and trucks in the entire lane, with a lot of different types of foods and a crowd of people eating and hanging out. Some were authentic Italian fast foods, others sold burgers, tacos, fries etc. There were also some healthy options that sold fresh breath and cheese, and small delicatessen boards, called Salumi, but they didn’t have as much customers as the fast food ones. Eden was hungry, her mouth watered from the aroma that filled the whole street.

Her mouth was already greasy from whatever she was eating in the morning. As Lexi walked closer, she shook her head at the glutton she called her friend." El, this is morning. Aren't you supposed to eat breakfast?" Elena winked at her friend, pulling the chunk of meat with her teeth." This is spicy breakfast." Lexi rolled her eyes before pointing at the sticks in Elena's hands. " Skewer in the morning? Who the hell even sell this so early in New York?" Nestled between a vintage bookstore and a bustling deli, Chen's Wonders was a haven in Manhattan's chaos. This homely cafe served authentic Chinese eats with a New York twist.

Then, a while later when they walked out of the other kindergarten, Elaina looked at the chines restaurant in front of her and her eyes immediately lit up as she said, “Mommy, I want to eat noodles.” “Okay, let’s go.” Alice said with a smile. Since it was a Monday, there were not many people in the restaurant. After entering the restaurant, Alice took Eliana to a table next to the window where they could also have a bird’s view of the city. And the two of them looked at each other after ordering the food. It was Eliana who spoke first and suggested, “Mommy, I think you should go to the work now.” In her heart, Eliana thought, Mommy, you should work earlier, so you should have a chance to mee
