Irish-Indian Restaurant Club (America)

A Story by Abishai100

Two Dartmouth love-birds go on an Irish-Indian romantic food trip starting on Labor Day to celebrate the heritage of American distances.

A toast to multicultural romance for Labor Day (and 9/11 20th-anniversary too, right?). Thanks for reading,

In the Garden State, a pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, decided to indulge their daydreams about shared multiculturalism, the magic of world history, and food. They start their adventure in NJ on Labor Day and secretly form an Restaurant Club called the Eirean.

Romeo's a blood-diamond infiltration-agent with Interpol-relations working to destabilize underworld gem-smuggling used for crime-financing threatening political securities in troubled Northern Ireland and the UK. He's from India. Juliet is an Irish-Catholic American lawyer and executive of NORAID studying parallels between Indian and Irish immigrant cultures in the United States. The two love-birds met at Dartmouth.

ROMEO: We both love Green Lantern.

JULIET: This heroine reminds us the magical ink between Indian and Irish aesthetics/graphics!

Romeo also collects ancient Indian miniature paintings and decided to take his darling Juliet on a cross-country trip to sample Irish and Indian cuisine all over the United States.

ROMEO: We'll visit restaurants costumed as thespians in a play about Irish-Indian immigrant meetings in old New York.

JULIET: We'll sit down at every Irish/Indian restaurant we visit costumed as the thespians we'll be performing as in the play!

The two love-birds met at Dartmouth and fell in love while reading Dubliners together for a political literature class.

JULIET: Irish pub-food and culture in the United States is about heated hospitality!

ROMEO: Juliet will fall in love with the green natural tones and sensuality of Indian curries of green color!

This is a story of multicultural love and a love of restaurants/food, so follow along this unusual Labor Day tale.

JULIET: We begin our plural restaurant adventure in America on Labor Day.

Romeo buys Juliet a Green Lantern diamond-emerald silver-band ring for engagement-proposal.

JULIET: I'll get us stained-glass wine glasses for our wines at every restaurant we visit.

Here's a restaurant of casual nature they visit, an Irish pub in New Jersey where great steak-and-ale is served.

ROMEO: I had no idea Irish-American hospitality was so much like the street-social spirit I noticed in Northern Ireland!

JULIET: We visited an Asian-Indian-Thai restaurant next, where Romeo proposed marriage to me over great food-wine.

Why would Juliet refuse in such an atmosphere in modern times, eh?

JULIET: I have family-heirloom art portraits of the iconic Easter Rising in the 20th Century, and hope Romeo likes it!

ROMEO: I have some Indian independence art too, but I doubt Juliet would find it altogether blended with Irish paint!

ROMEO: The green magic cutlery I bought for our wedding-gift reminded us of our Indian-Irish Labor Day American romance.

JULIET: Romeo bought me yet another piece of Green Lantern jewelry blending Indian and Irish aesthetics --- quite nice.

ROMEO: I bought Juliet this amazing book about the intersections in 'dance' between Ireland, India, and empire.

Biracial love in America is possible, simply because inter-cultural bonds are safer and freer from the modern dangers of racism, inter-religious conflicts, and terrorism. It's a simple fact to note in this 20th-anniversary year of 9/11, no?
