Red Hook Food Vendors

While Y. E. Yang was busy beating Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship, we were busy reminiscing about our Mexico trip last year and how much we enjoyed the local cuisine there. This brought us to the "Red Hook Vendors" where we enjoyed authentic tacos, pupusas, and every other kind of pan-latino cuisine you could imagine -- as we cheered on local fútbol (soccer) teams.

Our rooftop picnic

Jazz Brunch at the Algonquin

We must add, another highlight to the weekend was the Jazz Brunch at the Oak Room (where Harry got his start) at the Algonquin on W44th.
Ms. Barbara Carroll was quite elegant and charming, as she performed semiclassical to bebop. The perfect compliment to the stately morning was the poached Atlantic salmon, served refreshingly chilled with dill crème fraiche and black olive tapenade, not to be outdone by the heartiness of the eggs benedict. One word to describe it: Merveilleux!

Family Outing

We had an amazing (but busy) week hosting family... The City at Night was simply breath-taking. Dad had great style. Went to K-Town on W32nd.
Did a lot of walking... Love the yellow cabs.

NYC Fashion Week

Thanks to a long-forgotten contest entry, we got invited to the Betsey Johnson show at NYC Fashion Week. Here are a few pictures we took of Betsey's Spring 2009 line in all her playful glory.
