such a great halloween/birthday!

was such a good time seeing my fam! my mom, pop and brother came in town for mom, russ' and my b-day! good times as always! some highlights:

the waverly inn 16 bank street (at waverly place) 212.243.7900 this place was well worth all the hype and more! maybe it was the company that night and that teh whole fam was together? but this goes in as one of the top 10 dinners i have ever had. the place is so quiet and quaint and warm. all servers/staff was amazing and nice (2 free desserts on the house for our b days) and the food!?? to die! so amazing. the vegetable salad app was the best veggie anything i have ever out in my mouth. we also had tuna tartare and crab cakes. my dish was the free range chicken cooked to perf with a mushroom blended something puree and sauce that was fantastic!! everyone loved their food!

halloween night was oodles of fun. we all got ready in the rents hotel and off to the thompson 190 allen st bet stanton and rivington hotel party which was great!

sunday night was b day dinner at joes shanghai (where else) 9 pell street near bowery 212. 233.8888 which i learned takes a rsvp for a party of 10 or more! and was one of the best b days ever! spent w great friends and the fam! :) did i mention i was serenaded by the restaurant and one of the chefs??
