New York City
Went to NYC on March 19/20.

First was Vision Expo East.
Saw Randy Jackson hawking his frame line.

This was my first time outside of the Jacob Javitz Center (for Vision Expo) and Chaperoning a bussed 6th grade field trip to the UN/Museum of Natural History (where they shot Night At The Museum)

We ate dinner at Thalidomide's Chlamydia's Felidia's, owned by Lidia Bastianich, from PBS and The Food Network.

Then we went to The Top of the Rock (the roof of 30 Rockerfeller Center, where they do Saturday Night Live) to see the SUPERMOON!
It was frigid.

I have been to Lidia's restaurant in Pittsburgh and it was fantastic. Hands down best fried calamari. I bet the NY location would be good, too

It was only OK. It was as though they took a normal-type dish, and had to make it exotic. Example: pasta with shrimp, scallops, and crab... yum.... then they added OCTOPUS! Yuck. I had paparelle with duck and 'shrooms. I wish I had chosen the wedding pillows (ravioli) filled with pear. Odd sounding, but it tasted good. The veal filet mignon was tasty and tender, but that can mess up my belly. The gnocchi was ok. The wedding pillows filled with cheese and citrus rind were not good.

Menu

The tiramisu was about 2" square with no lady fingers. Disappointing.

If you wanted truffles on your dish, it was an extra $99/$129/$159 per serving, depending on the type of truffle you chose.

The Stage where we saw The Addams Family, starring Bebe Neuwirth

As Mortitia, and Roger Rees


As Gomez. Funny, that they both appeared in Cheers.

The show was funny, I'd recommend it.
