Autumn in New York

New York in October is Beautiful and one of my favorite times to be there - not to mention celebrating my birthday in the Big Apple - was a treat. Jay & Gordon hosted a most FABULOUS dinner party, we were surrounded by many good people. The menu included Boeuf Bourguignon served over egg noodles. In Jay's gastronomic expertise he tended this dish through several days of preparation - the boeuf was as tender as could be and the taste divine. Our finale was his home made Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting - needless to say we were all in Gastronomic heaven. Thank you Gordon & Jay! During our time there we visited our favorite stomping grounds including the MOMA - had to see the new building. That is also where the Jaguar Roadster was on exhibition - I thought Dennis would LOVE it. The Met for their Dutch Masters Exhibition - visiting my old friends by Rembrandt's hand made me happy. Of course no visit would be complete without the visual pleasure of China Town's street markets - including a stop for lunch. While there we picked up three lobster for a mere $25 - eat your heart out Massachusetts. Jay again tantalizing our taste buds prepared lobster rolls and fried oysters that evening. WOW - they put smiles on our faces..... We are looking forward to our next visit already!
