I love it. Just back.
Highlights
The WTC Tribute Center - so, so sad
. The enormity of what happened really hits you. A strange 'high'light, but important to see I think.
Sunday in Brooklyn - met my childhood best friend after not seeing him for 5 years and seeing very little of him for the last ten. Remembering A-Team sweatshirts and Campri ski jackets while getting hideously drunk was like a personal 'I love the 80's' show without the c-list talking heads.
Dinner here - http://www.taorestaurant.com/ on our last night. Great food and great setting made cheap by the weak dollar.
Staying here http://www.parkermeridien.com/index1.php and realising they allow pets! Never stayed in a hotel with lots of dogs before! (Leave it!
)
'The Back Room' - a faux 'speakeasy' in the East Village with bottles served in paper bags and spirits served in cups and saucers, entered through a secret alley.8)
Lows
BA! Lamb cutlets for 'brunch' at half nine in the morning on the way out???? The missus is vegetarian (well a Pescatarian in fact, but I digress). They had no record of the veggie meal we'd booked on the way out and then served her cheese tortellini for breakfast at 9.30 on the way back. They claimed it was 'brunch' not breakfast before serving my 'normal' meal of bacon, scrambled eggs and mushroom etc. Clearly breakfast!
They then served her an egg sandwich at 4pm - might they have dug that out at breakfast time, with a little effort? Twunts!
What have I missed here? Who's off to SW4? I may be.....
