Sometimes all it takes to have a nice evening is good company, tasty snacks and a cozy couch. After a long and HOT bikram class, I decided to have my friend Sarah over for a glass of wine. If any of you know the two of us at all, you know that a “glass” of wine turned into 2 bottles… Anyway, we got to chatting about my upcoming trip to Europe and it spurred the need to watch Anthony Bourdain’s travel/food show “No Reservations.”
If any of you have not seen this show, check it out. He basically travels to cities around the country, getting in tight with the locals and trying local delicacies. He always seems to find the most interesting tastes and people wherever he is…
While we were not eating luxurious food like Mr. Bourdain, we were snacking on some of my all time favs… Tortilla lime chips, salsa (mild of course, because poor Biffen cannot stand my taste for spice), sliced cheese and crackers. Now to some of you this may sound like a pathetic meal, but I tell you if I had to choose a “last supper” of sorts this just might be it… Although I would need to add a dirty chai latte from The Bean and a slice of cheesecake to round it off.
After a while, we got lost in wine and conversation and before we knew it, the clock struck midnight. Lucky for Sarah, she didn’t have to go to work in the morning, but it was time for me to hit the hay. As I lay in bed that night I thought of all the wonderful adventures I was about to have in Europe… I am so excited to try new food and experience different cultures, but I have to reflect again on how good I have it right here where I am. New York is full of life, love and happiness. This includes all the great food, sites and of course friends and connections I have gathered along the way.
I am off to Paris today, but I already can’t wait to get back and share my stories with me friends and family. Au Revoir NYC! The next time you will hear from me will be either from Paris or Munich for Oktoberfest!
