Halloween

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Happy Halloween! Larry and I morphed into a fireman (him) and a dalmation (me) – yes, I was his bitch for the night – and spent Halloween night at (my first) Corpus show. We started the night by trekking it up to the Upper East Side to Reed & Jess’s for some champaigne, pizza, beer, and, of course, Rock Band.

We then made it over to the show which, aside from the Beastie Boy Cover Band intermission was Awesome! Lots of great costumes – Palins, Juno & Michael Cera, the Joker, Mario Go Kart Characters and even 2 people dressed up as tetris blocks, and my favorite, a really authentic Edward Scissorhands.

But Ben gave me nightmares for days.

Ye Waverly Inn

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

So Friday night while we were at Gottino, Larry said “let’s go over to the Waverly Inn and try to get a reservation.” So we did, and we got one for tonight.

The food was AMAZING. And that doesn’t even really do it justice. We had 2 cocktails (including one called the “Bees Knees”), some wine (all good), tuna for an app, the best cooked chicken I’ve ever had, and the greatest short ribs ever. And of course dessert. We did pass on the $100 mac and cheese appetizer, but since everyone else around us ordered it I think we may have missed out. Next time.

In the middle of dinner, we discover that Steven Spieldberg and Tom Hanks (with wife) were eating just a few tables away!

We plan to go back.

Back at Gottino for the night. Nothing new here, still as good as always, but we got some cool pics this time.

Yummy crostini with walnuts.

Larry ate all of these.
