After bopping around Manhattan for a couple days enjoying the food (Eataly, DBGB Kitchen & Bar, Junior’s, Rickshaw Dumplings) and shopping (Uniqlo, Henri Bendel, FAO Schwarz), Miek and I took a cab across the bridge to visit Tig’s and Daniel’s new apartment in Crown Heights.

They whipped up a tasty brunch of parmesan and olive-oil-dressed arugula salad, jalapeno cheddar scones, poached eggs, oven-roasted tomatoes, apple pancakes (which tasted like flan!) and mimosas. We sat around, with Nymphadora Tonks the shih tzu underfoot, listening to tunes, eating, chatting, and celebrating their recent engagement! We went up to the roof to look at the skyline at dusk, had a savory and cozy dinner at Pok Pok (extreme and legit northern Thai cuisine), and then had Mr. Shah take us back to JFK.
