if i had a kajillion dollars, i'd buy an apartment for myself in nyc and stay there for a week once every month or two, eating my way around the city.  

most delicious nyc bits:

--apple and kimchee salad at momofuku ssam bar

--gelato from il lab

--seeing (one of my two favorite cousins) misha in the west village

--my afternoon at the new york times with kim, julia and jill (love those ladies!)

--the whole wheat seedy bread at balthazar 

--running into my middle-school friend debby k. on second ave.

--reading the weds food section in a nyc coffeeshop instead of on my laptop in berk.

--brooklyn flea (meeting the saipua guys)

--our brunch at egbert's apt (maybe the most amazing nyc apt ever) and kris's bloody marys...

--so much great weather

--getting caught in an east coast thunderstorm whilst trekking up 5th ave

--my customary pilgrimage to kitchen arts and letters (where i scored 2 river cottage books)

--dinner with jonas and phil...ha!

--sneaking onto the 29th floor with jonas

--dragging jonas all over the village, soho and les in the glaring sun

--seeing sarah from heritage for dinner at alias

--spicy hummus, barbari and sour green plums from sahadi's

--talking to philip

--the amazing pink and purple spring moment we had in brooklyn heights

--the letter press drawers we found in the antique store on court street (already hung and being filled!)
