Catching Up in New York
After getting cleaned up, I was back out of my hotel and off to one of the New York business hotels to catch up with an old friend of mine, Brian. It’s been several years since I was last in New York, but Brian hasn’t changed, well except for his new wife, who happens to be a New York Police detective! I now know who’s in charge. After we met, we headed to a nearby bar, we wanted to get a few down us before we headed out for food; India food to be precise. I’m so looking forward to eating Indian food, I haven’t had Indian food since I was in Australia a few weeks back and that’s too long!
My friend Brian has been living here now for about three years, so I sure by now he knows where the best India restaurant is. He did, we ended up at a place called Yuva. It was a bit on the expensive side, but the food was the best ever and the ambiance was perfect. I recommend getting the mint parantha bread if you ever find yourself in New York. Plus, put this restaurant on your list of places to eat. My friend Brian didn’t know this, but I went back every night I was here and tried a different dish each time. So scrumptious, so tasty, so satisfying.
The next day I spent time at my favorite haunts, the Greenwich Village, Soho and my most favorite, the East Village. I did a one time big shopping spree and I hope all my stuff will get through customs at Heathrow International Airport. Later, in the evening, I once again hooked up with Brian and this time he brought his wife. She’s stunning! I can see why he married her. But tonight, instead of going to eat India, we headed to our favorite pub, the Irish Cottage pub in Queens.
I spent the next day dealing with a hangover. I was still hungover at JFK and I slept it off on the plane taking me back home to London. Time to get back to the real world, and leave the wonderful land of New York behind, well at least until next year.
