Ethics

Off to the Big Apple

By Ed Brayton

I'm flying out this afternoon to New York City for a couple days of fun and frolic. Vinx is coming from Boston to hang out with me and another friend who lives in the area. There will be lots of good food, good company and a jazz club or two. I have reservations at Perilla, a small restaurant owned by Harold Dieterle, the winner of the first season of Top Chef, and at The Black Duck, which is actually a seafood place. I had a chance to get a dinner reservation at WD-50 but I waited too long and lost it. Ah well.

I've got posts already written and ready to go up for the next couple days, but try not to make too much of a mess of the place because I'll be too busy to pay attention to what's going on.

Update: Changed the dinner reservations for Sunday. There are always late cancellations and I happened to find an opening at Craft for the right time. Craft is Tom Colicchio's flagship restaurant, winner of the James Beard award for best new restaurant in the nation in 2002. Can't wait!
