I still feel like I'm recovering from our long weekend in New York. Here's a quick roundup:
- Weather. Sucked. It rained every day and was cold. But I didn't go there for the weather.
- Travel. Traveling without a toddler is really great, and Jet Blue is now officially my favorite airline. Live television, leather seats with extra room and they don't skimp on the drinks or snacks. I'm not sure I'd be able to put Madame on mute until she's older (like their ad suggests), but I'm willing to try.
- Shopping. Great. We didn't do much shopping, but we did hit the places we can't get to that regularly, including picking up a few sweet gifts at Bombalulu's.
- Friends. The best. My modern day godson is a beautiful, almost perfect baby whom I rarely let go of. It's amazing how much I forgot what a small infant was like.
- Food. We had some of the best meals while we were in NYC, and while the wood burning grill in the Gramercy Tavern is still a personal favorite, the best meal we had was at this crazy Asian restaurant in the meat packing district called Spice Market. From the outside it looks like an ugly building, but inside it feels like you walked right into a kung-fu movie. Combine the tavern scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with some sort of shadowy, red-lit Asian club and you kind of get the idea. And the food was outstanding.
I found this site on a google search for an Eames rocker. Very cool chairs but not sure if they have enough cush for required nursing/soothing activities. But those darn gliders are SO hideous, the thought of putting it next to my Modernica couch is horrifying. Any suggestions on a comfy yet cool rocker?
