Cat, Calf, and Conservatory

An animalistic week!

Fat Cat for the DDD mixer (followed by a delicious burger at B&B).

The Hog Pit for the JWT reunion.

Sunburnt Calf for brunch.

And, the Butterfly Conservatory at the American Museum of Natural History...along with a trip to the planetarium (narrated by Whoopi Goldberg), and Brains.

...Sleeping bag coats and bone-chilling winds.

And, tonight, the low is 9 degrees that feels like...?

Top 10

I stumbled upon some top 10 station traffic facts.

Turns out that my stop at 86th street only averages a mere 18.8 million passengers each year compared to the winning 58 million passing through Time Square 42nd street.

It Turns Out...

...that the celebs being filmed in the trailers (back in October) have been announced as the new cast of Celebrity Apprentice.

Whew! Now I can sleep.

Food, Follies, and Faceplants

Back from 9 days in Texas and healing from wound care, 2011 in NYC has already provided cautious inspiration.

Argentina via Williamsburg at El Almacen.

India via the East Village at Panna II,

And beautiful snow falls accompanied by lucky wipeouts.

It's good to be home.
