New York Wanderings

Another weekend in New York. My most favorite thing to do in the city is to explore the different neighborhoods, to take in the different architecture, sights, and smells. My next favorite thing to do in the city is to hit all the awesome restaurants – we hit jackpots this weekend: Ping’s Seafood for lunch in Chinatown, Sushi Azuba for an impromptu dinner near Wall Street, and Donostia in Alphabet City for delicious Basque tapas, sherry and cider.

What a change in scenery from the rarefied air of upper east side to edgy and grungy Alphabet City
