So friday I felt better, and I got to see my sister Julie and her husband Mark who came into town (just to see me!). We started out with Dim Sum in Chinatown, and i have to say getting there at 1130 makes all the difference as we had everything to choose from and no competition from large groups of elderly Chinese people hell bent on eating all the food!!!
Later on we tried to go to Resto but it was full so we ended up on 6th st in the east village trying to decide which indian joint had the most lights. you can see who won above, and who won below
yes we filled Mark up with indian food, then some beer, then went to a Neo-Futurists performance of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, an experimental play series where they perform 30 original plays in 60 minutes. Very entertaining, thought it would be nice for a spot of culture after a week of work.
The next morning, brunch (can you see a thread here of how i am taking the tactic of eating anytime i feel nauseous quite literally?!?) then ice skating. A few days ago i thought this would be impossible but as the chemical war within settles down a little and my body regains control i am feeling better, and as you see below, quite capable of skating around the ice (dull skates and two inches of powder be damned).
this was all on occasion of Christy, Alex's GF, friend of Siobhan and I, her birthday. Yes we brought cookies and later ate hamburgers at Dram Shoppe. My formerly lauded skill at bar shuffleboard apparently has been negated by some pill or the other as i found myself completely useless at the boards and with that we called it a day well spent.

Love the pics. Your descriptions fit perfectly and were quite colorful as well! It was lovely to see you. You need to keep the blog going, you are good at it and I like getting updates on the good food you eat. Makes me miss ice cream! (although hearing about salmon ice cream did not make me miss it)
I can't believe that place got rid of so many of their lights. At least we saw it in their glory days! I'm glad the "coziness" remains intact!
Toodles! jules
