The Day I Was Lifted Above the Battlefield—During Brunch
<p>My friend Larry broke his hip in a sidewalk fall a few months ago and was convalescing in his East Village apartment in New York City.</p>
<p>He had just graduated from a walker to a cane, and he decided he wanted to celebrate by venturing out for brunch in the neighborhood.</p>
<p>The venerable Ukrainian restaurant, Veselka, was just two blocks from his apartment and although it’s always packed on Saturdays we decided it was the closest place near him with decent food.</p>
