My body clock has finally adjusted to New York time, but it still took me most of the morning to get over my hangover. I decided to wander around lower mid-town and visit Grand Central and then the Chrysler building.
Afterwards, I caught the subway to Queens so I could take some pictures of New York from across the river. While I was in New York the sky was clear and the temperature was at negative 3 degrees. I came back into upper mid-town and visited the Museum of Modern Art, which turned out to be a very cool place, they even let me take pictures of the painting, which I never could do in other museums. Later, I walked through the Rockefeller Center before heading back to my hotel to put on warmer clothes and to see where there’s a great place to eat.
When I came back down to the lobby of my hotel, the concierge told me about a Global Music Festival, called Globalfest, which was at Webster Hall that was only a few blocks away, so I decided to pay the music fest a visit. The concierge also told me that most of the better restaurants in New York are booked for months, but they had there connections and managed to get me a reservation at ‘Gotham Bar and Grill’, they told me about this site: and how working with the concierge of that site has great connections with the higher end restaurants. I was really grateful for all the efforts my hotel made in order just to please me.
The Globefest was great, great bands and great up and coming bands who haven’t been signed to any labels yet. I really liked the Nighlosers, the Caravan Palace, and Namgar. this was truly global and it was great to hear all the music from different countries.
Then is was time to eat at ‘Gotham bar and Grill’, when I got there, I was in amazement. All the tables are very close together and are at different levels. The very high ceiling had these great light fixtures that looked like parachutes, which made it feel like there was more room than there really was. I ordered the Duck with Foie Gras and a seafood salad. My dishes were fabulous. I wish I had more room in my stomach for more. No wonder you have to book three months in advance. I’m so happy my concierge had connections.
The next day, I couldn’t imagine anything being able to top yesterdays experience. So, I just took a nice walk through the East Village and went down through the Lower East Side, then on to Chinatown and over the Brooklyn Bridge and then back over the Brooklyn Bridge and believe it or not, I managed to find the best falafel stand in all of New York. It’s called Sam’s, which is next to Ground Zero, and you don’t need to wait 3 months to get a great falafel.
