we tried to be productive on the flight to NYC, having taken a rather inconveniently timed mid-afternoon flight. companions can't be choosers - using the mister's miles and our annual BA companion voucher meant the available redemption flights were sadly limited. but heyy free ticket so who's complaining? the light was good on the plane and i took this of the mister hard at work.
when we got to NYC, it was straight to the lower east side. arrived at night and had a fashionably late lobster dinner at lobster joint. took a ton of photos but look like the complete gluts that we are, so they're not here. some on fb though, if you're kaypo enough to see! early bird gets the deck chair? spent the next couple of days lounging by the pool and emerging when it got a bit cooler. the mister also pretended to work, and i might've flipped through a book but it was defo more play the first couple of days.
met friends at the standard bar for drinks one evening. caught the sunset from le bain (the bar / club section with a pool). there was some confusion and a couple of our friends were turned away for being sloppily attired (it was summer, for crying out loud!) and having just come from soho house, were unimpressed by the stroppy service. can do without? we were dressed o-k but it's not fun when the group is split and shuffled.
ventured to the roof top bar but the downstairs a/c part was prettier (above photo). what i found quite funny was the waitresses who seemed to be constantly wardrobe malfunctioning with boobies escaping from their dresses. i enjoy a peep show as much as the next person but after awhile it did get tiring. fashion tape, anyone? and unforch as a medic, body humour fails to get me any more.
left for dinner just us two and explored the japanese offerings at the LES. great rec from weylin of epicurative fame!
