It was truly great to be back in the New York metro region. Spent some time with the family in NJ. BBQed on the back porch. Kayaked on the lake. Picked tomatoes and basil from the garden. Watched stars. And Top Chef.
Spent a few days with friends in NYC. Time was so short and densely packed that I remember it mostly by the food that accompanied each event: Pre-baby brunch with Mark and Ayana. A Malaysian affair with Marshall and Andy. Reunion tour at Max Fish following the annual guitar solo battle at Anthology. Morning muffins and pastries at Christian & Cynthia’s. Buttery beef sandwiches with Jeff. Perfect birthday dinner for Cynthia at Marlow & Sons. Some delightful olives and conversation with Rob & Charles. Farewell drinks for Nick (see you in Shanghai!). Fried chicken with John & Jiae. Banh mi with Carol & Humberto. I wish there had been time to share a few more meals…
Closed out the trip with a few days upstate at Jon’s new summer house. Pics to follow.
