Friday night I flew into NY and we went immediately to meet a bunch of Larry’s friends for tapas at a restaurant called Alta in the West Village. There was an option on the menu called “The Whole Shebang,” which in essence was the entire menu. And that’s what we ordered.

It was awesome, but we all left utterly stuffed.

We didn’t have any plans for Saturday so we went down to the South Street Seaport and Ground Zero. Ground Zero was interesting, as I haven’t been there before, and since it was a nice (although a little chilly) day, it was nice to walk around the seaport.

Friday night we went to a place called Jane for dinner. Looked like an average kind of restaurant, but had really great food (including this amazing Arugula and Pear salad). After dinner we went downstairs for Larry’s friend Adam’s (surprise) Birthday party for a bit, then over to Pegu Club for a round of concoctions…

and then finally over to Rivington Hotel to meet up with Ben and Wendy.

We ended the night with some dinner food, so if your counting, that’s 4 places in one night.

Sunday Larry and I took the train to NJ for my nephew Jordan’s christening (where my brother and I also became godparents):

Following the service, Nike and Jamie through an afterparty at a nearby hotel, where we got some nice family shots:

I shipped Larry home around 5pm and then went back to spend the night at my parent’s house. I was supposed to fly out Monday evening, but that flight got canceled and then the next flight they put me on also got canceled (apparently Continental can’t fly in the rain), so I wasn’t able to fly out until Tuesday morning. Whew! A bit annoying, but also nice to have an unexpected break with my parents.

Lots more pics from the whole weekend here.
