Today, 3 months ago, it was my last day in New York. My mother knew way before that I wanted to go to Joanne. We went to Gaga's childhood home (and actual residence of her parents. just to take a picture outside of the building because it was very special for me.) and at about 6 pm we made our way to Joanne, all I knew was the street it was located in and how it looked like from the outside. We arrived, and when we went in I was already shaking. I couldn't believe it. And then I saw Joe. I came closer and when he looked at me all I could say was "Joe! I'm a Little Monster from Colombia!" He said hi to us and asked us if we had a reservation. I had no idea you needed a reservation so I looked at my mom with a defeated look and translated to her what he had just said to us (we speak spanish). She was like "I'm sorry. We had no idea". And that's what I told him. He asked us "how about 8pm? Or tomorrow?" and we couldn't because we were staying in Brooklyn,we had to take the subway and my mom didn't want to do it so late. And we were leaving the next day! I told him "we're leaving tomorrow... can I... take a picture with you before I go?" he said yes and it's this picture. he even took one with my sister. we were about to leave, I was so nervous about the whole thing and he asked me to wait 2 minutes. he talked to a guy and finally said to us "come in. I arranged you a place". LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, IN THAT MOMENT I KNEW I WAS STANDING NEXT TO A GENTLEMAN, SOMEONE I WILL NEVER FORGET. I LOVE HIM. We sat down and ordered our food (by the way, the food is AMAZING. Best italian food in NYC), he often asked us "how are you doing? everything fine?" and I was shaking and crying. All I could think was *calm down, calm down*. And then when I was trying to calm down Cynthia walked by my side. I was speechless, she is so beautiful! And you can see Gaga in her face. She walked right beside me the whole time, but I was too shy to say anything. We finished eating (the service was so good! the lady that took our order was so nice, she even talked to me and my mother and it was so personal.) I wanted to say goodbye to Joe and thank him for everything he did for us but he had already gone to have dinner. We payed and as soon as we were out of the place I was crying again, tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks. I will never forget what he did for me, Joe Germanotta has a very special place in my heart. And always will. Sorry if I made any mistake, english is my 2nd language. #ladygaga #joanne #joegermanotta #newyork #nyc #JoanneNYC #JoanneTratoria #papajoe #joannetrattoria #dreamcometrue
