Because we left for Alaska right after my birthday, I planned a belated get together with my friends at Max in Tribeca. Everyone had a long weekend for the July 4 holiday so even though it was a Thursday, it felt like a Friday.\u00a0The restaurant in Tribeca (there are other Max locations) is a pretty tiny space; the dining room is long but extremely narrow. Josh made reservations but unfortunately a lot of people were running late so they gave up our table. Luckily we didn\u2019t have to wait super long for another big enough table to open up, but it was a pretty tight squeeze.<\/p>\n
The bread baskets came out after everyone placed their orders. It was rustic Italian bread with a sturdy crust, and they brought bowls of olive oil with what I think was mashed sun-dried tomatoes mixed in it. The bread was just ok but the oil\/tomato dip was deliciously fruity and a nice change from the usual plain oil or butter.<\/p>\n
