A Quick Spring Weekend in New York

 
This is the 25th post in the 31 Posts in 31 Days Series. 

We have finally concluded the New York Thanksgiving Series. Well, sort of. I did have Thanksgiving Dinner at Daniel, Daniel Boulud's flagship restaurant. However, I think it makes more sense to post about that meal closer to Thanksgiving, so stay tuned for that one once the weather starts getting colder again.

Instead, I'd like to kick off yet another New York Series. Yes, I guess I go to New York on a pretty regular basis, at least enough to provide steady content for this blog!

Every year for the past few years, Bryan and I travel to New York to attend a black tie event at the Waldorf Astoria. It's an annual meeting for intellectual property attorneys (of which I am one), and involves a fancy dinner, a talk by a famous figure (this year it was Ken Starr - yes, of Clinton era fame), and lots of networking.

Usually, I like to make a long weekend out of this business trip, which means visiting friends, family, and checking out some fun restaurants in New York.

We'll kick off this new series detailing the places we visited during this trip. Here's a peek!

This lesser known one-Michelin starred restaurant at the top of the Time Warner Building was one of the few places that offered brunch on our last day in New York. Above: truffle poached eggs with creamy mashed potatoes.

I rarely return to 3-Michelin starred restaurants I visit, but I've been to this one multiple times. The food is phenomenal and I never tire of it. The first time I had lunch here, I had the privilege of running into chef-owner Eric Ripert.
