After our last ever brunch, we had a prom. Our last dance together.
Here are photos by our neighbor (a brief bar bb in 2020, those two glorious weeks in March!) **wet eyes** we love you, Mikee! don’t know where you’re gonna get backup ice now …
We were joined by extended family — past angels of ADB + and more. We ate brisket from , chivis from and pizza from (Tommy, who also provided the photo booth!). A big-ass sheet cake from Chinatown. worked behind his bar for the last time. Some of us crawled on the bar …
It has been so very strange to not be open, our zebra curtains drawn. We miss you a whole lot. Last Thursday’s sidewalk sale was an unbalanced cocktail of feelings. But there’s a comfort knowing that are plates are in your homes, our pots and pans (marked “All Day Baby” on the bottom!) are in some of your restaurants, especially at our extended family’s,
Okay, photos pt. 1, this bright team of originals, who kept me young, taught me plenty and loved each other — some of these groupings are like, “ADB Day 1” and “Helluva Time” etc lol
P.S. this team, led by .mixtizo, produced an “All Day Baby Yearbook” for me (yes, folks, I was a yearbook editor in high school!) and IT IS SIGNED 100 times over, I think even by — the courage finally gets summoned tonight, and I will get in this memory book and read and feel and be grateful it all even happened 🪽💕💕
