NYC

R. and I were in Manhattan for the weekend. We had a 6 course dinner at a middle eastern restaurant called Mamlouk and spent Friday night at the ultra-swanky, yet (moderately) affordable Gershwin Hotel. On Saturday we visited the Met and also hung out with our friend Ben who rents a cool little place in the East Village and was gracious enough to put us up for the night. It was a nice get-away. I'm glad we live close enough to the city to be able to get there in a reasonable amount of time. For a guy with small town origins like me, visiting New York is always a bewildering and exhilarating experience.
