New York is always a gastronomical adventure.
Three weeks ago, I was in the City again visiting after finishing up a grueling unit on gastroenterology and endocrinology. It was a great five-day vacation in New York. I did tons of shopping (but proud to say that I didn't spend that much!), picked up a veil at David's Bridal, and of course spent good quality time with Mikhail. Since we'd mentally postponed our "Valentine's Day" of the previous week, we went out some place special for our own Vday. Check out the Spice Market:


Great food presentation! And it was super tasty. Some kind of Vietnamese, Indian, Thai fusion...delicious!


This is where we sat for dinner. Notice the really cool pseudo-Indian temple structure in the background. Definitely brownie points of ambiance.

We also went to a bar called Fat Baby, which I made Jon Ho yell out three or four times over the phone that morning because I couldn't catch what he was saying. Street noise, what can I say... Something about "stat abie" or "tat tabee"...he ended up just saying "like a fat kid". And I got it. Jon's band, Patrick Murphy, played there one Thursday night. They were very groovy, very chill. Nice job guys.
