To catch folks up, I've been in the Northeast (CT and NY) for the past week for work. It's been a good trip all the way around with some minor hiccups (like the woman who brought her daughter that I mentioned in an earlier post).
We worked through Thursday morning and then headed down to NYC. I'm sad that my only trips to the city so far have been very brief ones tacked onto business travel. I have to say that the more I see of New York the more I like it. I also sort of want to do a marathon of L&O and CSI:NY to see if I can spot places that I've been. :)
The weather was AWESOME for us. We were worried about the humidity, but it stayed nice until today. The board here said it was 80 something %. Ick.
The two days we spent exploring were fun. We did the touristy stuff. Went to the top of Rockefeller Center, did a couple of bus tours (Uptown, Downtown and a night one that went to Brooklyn) and spent some time hanging out in Times Square.
We ate pretty awesome too since the company was footing that part. We had lunch at the Rock Center Cafe which overlooks the area where the ice rink is in the winter. I'd reccomend it if you ever win the lotto. It was almost $700 for 13 of us. And that was not including the alcohol. The food was amazing though. I had crab cakes that were made with risotto. I desperately want to try and make this at some point. Soooo good.
Yesterday a couple of us hit my favorite rice pudding place "Rice to Riches". It's right between Chinatown and Little Italy. They have all these different flavors of rice pudding. I had the caramel. It's hard to describe how good this stuff is.
Anyway, I have quite a few pics, though not as many as I would have expected from me. I still need to get most of them off of my camera, but here are a couple.
