June Nights

It was a long week, so we unwound with a nice dinner at Convivium Osteria in North Slope. My wife started out with the Chilled Asparagus with Shaved Parmesian in Lemon and Olive Oil sauce and had the Beet and Potato filled Ravioli as an entree.

I opted for Octopus as my appetizer and ended with the Duck filled Mezzulene. All the food was top notch and service was attentive but not overwhelming. All in all, a great place that will be sure to have us back.

The night before we had some drinks with friends and ended up catching dinner at Sushi Samba in Union Square. We had a couple rolls, shrimp tempura and an empanada. It all hit the spot but we did not opt for (and are craving for) a roll that we saw the chefs prepare for other patrons - one with tuna, caviar, and foie gras - can you say, decadent?

Wednesday night, we were unsuccessful in our attempt to find curtains for our living room, but did end up having a tasty dinner at Macy's Cellar Bar and Grill, which reminds us of InField's back in Chicago at Marshall Field's. Unfortunately, as we headed home, my wife became the victim of an attack - a PIGEON ATTACK! Yes, hair, shirt, pants, and hand were struck by the vile poop of a pigeon. How's that for a New York experience?
