Happy Birthday Lady!

Just a quick shot out to the woman for her birthday this month. I took her to L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in the Four Seasons over the weekend and it was by far one of my top restaurant I’ve been to in the city. JR focusing on French with Japanese influences. [...]

APT Supper Club and Superchumbo

Over the weekend I celebrated yet again, another year of life. Living out in NYC, increasingly I hear less and less from the friends I was close to in CA and more from those in close proximity. This is only natural as people grow closer to those they frequently hang around with (despite [...]

Happy Easter! and make sure you still have those parkas! I don’t have time to research NY but it’s certainly close to the coldest Easter on the East coast in spots south of here like VA, NC and KY (Accuweather.com). We had snow flurries today, which made this a colder day than the [...]

Holidays at the Met

We attended an evening classical concert at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last Thursday. We arrived shortly after work, and settled into the Medieval Sculpture Hall of the [...]
