As soon as we arrived in town, we dumped our bags at the W Union Square and hightailed it over to our hot spot Ippudo where we warmed up with yummy pork buns. I drrreeeam of these going the way of White Castle burgers someday...
As soon as I picked out the floating chunk of pork my Ramen was scrumptious. If I lived in this town, Ippudo would be my heroin...
Babe's meat heavy Ramen (shudder). But, the broth was delish...
You'd think I'd be stuffed after that late lunch but, nope. Still had a spring in my step as we hustled over to Momofuko's Milk Bar, home of the infamous Compost Cookie, for dessert... 
Yes, Anderson Cooper, Crack Pie is all that...
Later that night it was off to Quality Meats where Babe had a romantic dinner a deux planned but, it ended up being pour quatre cuz we were seated intimately close to Monica Lewinsky and her date!
Right there, in the middle of the banquette seating, our purses touched and pleasantries were exchanged. Thank goodness for Babe and his keen eye cuz otherwise the sighting would have gone right over my head. I was too busy admiring her poreless skin to realize who she was...
By Monday afternoon I was back on the train headed home to one lonely puss. The report from my sisters was that Pilgie had been standing post at the front door from the moment I had walked out and was even refusing treats. T. Anthony better get crackin on a cat carrier...Kindness of Babe for whisking me away to NYC for some TLC and good eats. You are the best Dil! XXOO
I can't believe you had dinner with Monica Lewinsky! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOK - I HAVE to ask. Was her date hot? :)
Om nom nom:). We ate at the Noodle Bar when we were in NYC. Next time we'll try Chang's other "bars." Looking forward to trying the desserts you've got here.
ReplyDeleteWhile the cat's away, just look at you - city mice all a play! Glad you had a weekend of gluttony....
ReplyDeleteany purchases?
pve
what a great time darling, poor Pilgie missed you so!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time!
ReplyDeleteI think the first place was featured on Martha - the buns look familiar!
The beauty of NYC is you can eat what you want because you want 400 miles a day lol!
What a wonderful trip! I'm hoping you made it to Hermes too... :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time! Those pork buns look good, so does the rest of the food! I bet your pussy cat was happy to have you home! We have two, I know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteyou are making me miss NYC! I LOVE Quality Meats, I was actually there for drinks a couple of weeks ago; its right around the corner from my co's NYC headquarters. Glad you had such a great trip!
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you buy??? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI saw Ivanka Trump the other day and I did the same thing, stared at this beautiful girl walking toward me, til I realized who it was.
Love eating in New York...always come back 5 lbs heavier from Magnolia cupcakes and guacamole at Dos Caminos. Poor Pilgie...this too shall pass :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun trip! And that food looks delish... think I gained 10 pounds just thinking about it! Will definitely be hitting Ippudo the next time I am in NYC. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAnd my cat does that too! She waits by the door until my mom returns home... so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun! I went to Quality meats recently and LOVED it too :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it about time that we heard from that sage Uncle David of yours?
ReplyDeleteMomofuko Milk Bar (and all their restaurants) are on my MUST DO list! Some great dining by you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me HUNGRY! Glad you had a wonderful time! Welcome back to the beach! :-) XOXO
ReplyDeleteAww, poor Pilgie... Glad you had fun in the city! You know, I'm not sure I would recognize ML if I sat next to her... unless she happened to be wearing a blue dress from The Gap... do you think she shops there these days, btw?!
ReplyDeleteOK, officially on my summer is almost here diet...should have NEVER read this post...killing me.
