I love living in the country, and I love my simple life full of the sometimes mundane, but highly important minutia that make up my daily grind. However, I also love taking some time apart and heading to places outside of my norm. I spent the last few days in NYC soaking up the city, enhancing my brain with art, watching high brow films, and reveling in fantastic food and a few good martinis. So thankful for this time to feed the cultural part of my soul.
Highlights...
- Visited The Cloisters - beauty and religion from so long ago.

- Be still my beating heart - the food! Everything bagels with lox and cream cheese. Tuna Tartar, Beet Salad with Chevre and Denver Sole in butter sauce from Rue 57. Paella, Ceviche, and Watermelon Salad with Feta from The Smith. The perfect Bloody Mary and Cheese Scone with poached egg, smoked trout and hollandaise from Annabel. Raw Blue Point Oysters on the Half Shell, Stella on draft and Escargot from A.O.C.
