These four ink/water drawings on paper were made in a single week sometime in the spring of 2018, at a few personal favorite local eateries around New York City. They represent nothing more than a few moments in time out of otherwise ordinary days. The people in the images have long since finished their meals and left their seats. Unfortunately, the East Broadway WonTon House has since gone out of business.
