This past Saturday, Ms. Dish and I again found ourselves hungry in SoHo. Fortunately a popular internet based user generated restaurant review site guided us to Ruby's on Mulberry Street!
Once again Ms. Dish and I forgot to take a picture of the place, so please accept this "street view" from the internet.
Ms. Dish and I almost passed on Ruby's as it seemed a little too "hip" and despite the very hot and muggy weather, there was no air conditioning. We're both glad we gave it a chance though... It turned out to be a pretty cozy joint and after a couple of basil lemonades we were sufficiently cooled down and had a great meal!
Here we present Spoon Number Twenty-Three:
Number 23 bears the markings "Winco Stainless 18-10" on the back. This spoon is very similar to Spoon 16, which was an Oneida New York. Funny how repetitious spoon styles can be!
Number 23 is evidently a Winco "Peacock" as shown here with the family:
You know what's odd about this spoon? There's no "8 in a circle" on the back like all the other Winco spoons that we've run across! Now what are we to make of that? Is it a bootleg Winco? This spoon seems pretty worn and old... maybe the "8 in a circle" is a more recent thing? The only thing more mysterious than the "Winco 8" is a Winco spoon without it!
