Holy Carp!

It is possible, after all, to get a decent picture of ourselves!



I'll just do the "show" part of "show-and-tell" now, since the Young Master is practicing his vocal exercises.
The little man is ready to hit the streets for some shopping!


He looks serious now, but that's because General Sherman is right behind us and FAO Schwartz is just ahead. Samuel is patiently waiting for mommy's feet to rest so we could all get down to some serious teddy-bear hunting.



And oh yes, there was a wedding and a small reunion of boarding school friends. Here are Eleanor, Sarah, Maggie, and me - as if no time had passed, at all.



There was also a parade of Germans, a troupe of Hessians, another troupe of Laplander-looking folk and whole host of other wonders for the People Watching enthusiast.

And I haven't even mentioned the spectacular 7-course tasting menu (complete with fois gras and sweetbreads - not on the same plate, mind you) and wine pairings at Alto. Scrum-diddli-umptious!

Ok, the Young Master insists on an audience. Off I go.

Ha! I was wondering as we sat there if any of my LJ friends had eaten there. Cool.

It only got 3 1/2 out of 5 stars... it was so good! What in the world do you get for that remaining 1 1/2 stars?!?

We were a bit blown away by the price, but I guess not too surprised.

No wonder Samuel's a heartbreaker- look at his mom! You look radiant.

*groan* A tasting menu! That sounds sooooooo wonderful.

I hope to hit up the French Laundry up in Napa for its tasting menu sometime in the next year.

Every blessed bite was orgasmically good.
