We're back from a busy weekend in NYC.  We had friends in town from Saratoga, NY so we spent the weekend touring Manhattan and seeing all of the holiday sites.  Rockefellar Center, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, yogurt at Forty Carrots, and browsing the Park-Avenue windows – you name it, we did it.  We capped off the weekend with delicisous dinners at Marseille (West Side) and Uva (East Side), which are still making my mouth water.

 We're looking forward to another busy week.  I'm taking some coworkers out to dinner this week – I'm thinking Itzocan in the East Village.  And, the upcoming weekend is filled with two holiday parties and brunch at Pastis. 

On that note, I love New York (save Times Square) during the holiday season.  There's a real buzz in the air.  The best part of the year is spending this time with Ollie.  It's definitely nice to spend the holiday season cuddled up next to someone.
