I invited my former neighbor Dean to the East Side for dessert at Brasserie Les Halles last evening.
"Oh, honey, I hate the East Side. But for you, I'll go there."
So we met up at the restaurant after work and disappointed our waiter by ordering one salad and one dessert. I asked him, though, if Executive Chef
Anthony Bourdain actually comes in to work everyday still. Of course, no, he only appears occasionally.
(Bourdain is best known for his anti-Emeril attitude, his Food Network show "A Cook's Tour" and his books, including
"Kitchen Confidential", a hiliarious read for anyone who's ever worked in food service, or a horror story for those who haven't.) Chef Bourdain is my favorite culinary personality. If a chef can be described so, he's totally rock 'n' roll. He would've reamed me for eating a McDonald's cheeseburger before going to his restaurant, but hey, I had to eat before attacking the expensive stuff. I can't afford much of that!
One day and counting.

Eat Eat Eat - sure, but did you go to any Museums - Historical landmarks?
New York IS a historical landmark!
I have to make time to eat regardless.
The Statue of Liberty is the Statue of Liberty, I've seen it from airplanes and it looks just like the pictures.
As for museums, there just hasn't been a whole lot of time. I prefer to spend the time available to me exploring the personality of my surroundings. The museums will be here for years to come.
Hi Amy!
All the way from Europe, I'm following your story, step by step.
I admire you for being so incredibly independant and of course, for living in my dream city: NYC!
Take care.
Love,
Paolo
