Lin does NY

Franklin made his first trip to the Big Apple this past week. 1st night was dinner at Sushi Lounge and sake at Satsko. Thursday we survived the 80s party. Friday was dinner at frenetic Indian Panna II and drinks/jazz at Rue B.

Saturday was somewhat monsoon-like in NYC, but we made it to Chinatown to enjoy soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai. Geet is moving back to Bombay, so her going-away party was Sat. night at Artisanal. Really good cheese fondue. If I go back, I will stick to the cheese vs. ordering a proper entree. After dinner, we went to an Irish pub nearby for a brief moment. But then we became inspired to walk to Koreatown and sing karaoke at Toto Music Studio for several hours. Who knew my friends were such songbirds?

Got a late start Sunday as a result of karaoke-ing til dawn. But did eventually motivate uptown to walk through Central Park and go to the Boat Basin with Robyn. Dinner at Esperanto.

These are my high points... Franklin will need to do his own blog to describe experiences like lunch at Shake Shack.
