As I tweeted last night @reGeezer:
Celebrated anniversary at Del Posto in Meat Packing District. Had 7 course tasting menu- local ingredients paired w/Italian EVOO+wine. Wow!

Every quarter I find it fun and interesting to read what the pundits have to say after the Manhattan Real Estate Market Reports are published. As you can see below, the 3Q Manhattan Market Overview created quite a lot of buzz. This report was prepared by Miller Samual Inc. for Prudential Douglas Elliman.
I think the discussion of the 3Q market trends is best summarized in this special report podcast on The Housing Helix by the report’s creator Jonathan Miller .

Fantastic Lunch at Per Se Restaurant!
Posted by: | CommentsWe celebrated our anniversary at Per Se in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. From the personalized menu wishing us a Happy Anniversary to the tour of the kitchen and wine cellar, it was an amazing day. Their service was stellar and the food was remarkable! We booked a reservation (on the wait list) for next month.
Enjoy the photos and beautiful presentation of our Chef’s Tasting Menu – you can almost taste the food with your eyes!

Posted by: | CommentsIt was going to be in iMAX and 3D at the “only real IMAX, not the new fake digital LieMAX.“ We got to the AMC Lincoln Square theatre at 68th Street and Broadway about 45 minutes early so we could get “perfect seats” smack in the middle of the theater and about 3/4 of the way up.
While we waited for the show to begin, we munched lots of popcorn and I began read the NY Times article by Micha Pollan: Out Of The Kitchen, Onto The Couch about “How American cooking became a spectator sport and what we lost along the way”. It seemd to explain to me the design of so many kitchens in new developments: Kitchen Stadiums. More on this another time.
Just as the movie started there was an annoucement “…as you know, only the first 20 minutes will be in 3D…” We were pissed but when the “signal” came to remove our 3D glasses we did and enjoyed the rest of the movie in “real” iMAX. Caveat emptor!
After the show we took a walk to the Time Warner Center to visit the Whole Foods Store stopping off at a small Farmers’ Market on 65th Street rght where Columbus Avenue and Broadway cross.
