New York City (May 2011)

My spouse and I spent a 1-night stay in New York City in mid-May 2011. We arrived in the city and immediately traveled to the East Village for lunch (our second time!) at Momofuku Ko. Afterwards, as we were leaving the restaurant, we ran into some friends, who asked us to have drinks at Bar Jamon (owned by Mario Batali and adjacent to his Casa Mono restaurant). Afterwards, we checked into our hotel in Midtown, the Intercontinental Times Square. We had planned to have dinner at Silhouette (run by Per Se alums), but we were so full from lunch that we cancelled our reservation. Then we got a call from home that there were some work problems, which really put a damper on our evening. We just walked around a bit and ate some take-out New York pizza. Not the weekend that we had planned, but our lunch at "Ko" and running into our friends was great!
