What people who work past 5 pm miss

Despite arriving at the office at an untraditional hour, I left "on time" to meet Robyn for a drink at Riposo46, a new Italian wine bar in Hell's Kitchen. The owner was friendly, the wine was refreshing, and the cheese plate was tasty - so we will be back.

Across the street, there was a stage with a band playing and a bellydancer going crazy. Intrigued, I walked over there to see what was up. It was the far west end of a Taste of Times Square, so I wound up walking down Restaurant Row to Broadway. There were more bands & lots of food tents, and a pretty good sized crowd for a Monday night.
