It was a great day in NYC. And a very long one, but that was a good thing. When I headed out earlier this afternoon, I first made my way to Columbus Circle to check out some things, and then it was down to the Village to check out a few more things, as well as have lunch with my friend, Stuart.
We settled into the Cornelia Street Cafe. It was my first time there, but I'm sure I'll be returning sooner rather than later. A nice, varied menu with reasonable prices, and the space itself is deceptively big. From the outside, it looks like it just has a few tables, but once you step inside, there's a bar area with some tables, then another room with tables off to the left, and yet another larger room in the back. And downstairs, there's a small cabaret-ish space where they have live music and literary readings.
The food was wonderful - smoked salmon for me, and boudin blanc for Stuart - and we had a wonderful time catching up.
