Oh what a fabulous week!
Here are some of the highlights (in
semi-chronological order):
- Buffalo “chicken” sandwich at Champs vegan diner
- Louboutins and more at the Killer Shoes exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum
- Comparing margherita pizzas at Lombardi’s and Roberta’s
- Watching the huge balloons go by at the Macy’s parade (my favourite: Snoopy)
- Eating the most sublime grilled cheese I’ve ever put in my mouth at Bouchon, followed by their take on the Oreo cookie—I’d be a happy soul if I could eat like this every day!
- (American) Thanksgiving dinner at “home” with cousins including a tasting session of Vosges exotic truffles
- Watching the kitchen staff concentrating on noodle prep at Cocoron
- Trying pies next door at newly opened Petee’s Pies, with Bellocq’s Etoile de l’Inde tea as chaser
- Seeing funk icon George Clinton perform at B.B. King’s
- Walking the newly extended High Line
- Sipping hot chocolate at Jacques Torres
- Meandering through Greenwich Village
- Finding on sale the Marimekko duvet cover I’ve been coveting
- Savouring the orange blossom cream hazelnut doughnut from Doughnut Plant, followed by a hot-out-of-the-oven bialys from Kossar’s next door
- Brunch at Locanda Verde—this meal will go down as one of the most memorable brunches—fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes, apple cider doughnut, baked eggs
- Dinner at Toloache with my New York friends along with a very yummy chocolate cake—they counted wrong and put only 3 candles on top…
- Wandering through the Met’s Madame Cezanne exhibit and more
What a wonderful way to celebrate life and this
milestone. Of course, what made it most
special were the friends and family who were able to join me in New York along
with the many well wishes received.
Thank you all for making this such a memorable
occasion.
