Flashback

We never posted about our quickie trip to NYC in February.

Our long-weekend excursion offered the opportunity to re-connect with beloved friends Darin and Nanna from Copenhagen (and meet their baby, Sebastian!). We enjoyed brunch, walks in Central Park, and met their hosts and good friends who welcomed us into their lovely home on the Upper West Side.



Mike and I also took the opportunity to see a couple parts of the city that we'd missed over previous visits: the MoMA (amazing!), Ground Zero (mixed emotions for that one), and we really dug into the area around Union Square.

March has brought less travel outside of Boston (with the exception of maple sugaring!) and busier work weeks which have generously extended themselves into the weekends.

That said, we have enjoyed Boston's Restaurant Week and have taken advantage of the gourmet prix fixe menus littering the city's finest establishments. We've played the role of gastronomic tourist right here in our own city! Both Harvest and Rialto were delicious experiences last week. (Last month we also treated ourselves to a wonderful dinner at the chic Craigie on Main - formerly Craigie Street Bistro - it was definitely memorable.) We hope Chicago has Restaurant Week...!

I'm singing in BLO's Rusalka right now and Mike is prepping for a busy first two weeks in April which will include visits to Virginia and Tennessee. Oh yeah - we'll swing through California later in the month, too.

Wouldn't want to stay still for too long...
