Back off the wagon

During my 10 days in GA, I only had 1 glass of wine. Shocking! This changed when I met up with Jen and Tara after work last Wednesday for Jen's birthday. Jen wanted to try Koca Lounge, a relatively new place on the Lower East Side. Their specialty is akin to shabu shabu. Very modern burners are built into the tabletops. You order a broth/curry and you then you order meat, seafood and vegetables to dunk in the sauce and cook at the table. It wound up being a fun, fairly interactive meal. We also got a chocolate hot pot for dessert. The space is nice; there's an outdoor seating area in the back of the restaurant, which could be good for drinks & snacks whenever it’s not 40 and raining in NYC.
