After I had completed my trek, I decided to walk over to Spring Street to get some dinner. I had been craving Indian food for the past few days, so I settled in at Spice Root. I had a very good meal. My only "quibble" was that my Lamb Vindaloo was not as vindaloo-ish as I'm used to. Vindaloos usually pack quite a punch not only from the chile peppers and spices, but also a distinct bite from vinegar. The food was hot, but not "hot hot" - at least to my palate. But, nevertheless, I did enjoy my food.
A group of Indians came in shortly after me, and one of them ordered the Lamb Vindaloo too. I tried to hang out until their orders came to their table to gauge their "response", but, alas, I needed to get my dessert... Ice cream!
