Hey, we are now back in Newport, and man is it cold.  I need to break out what little cold-weather clothing I have on this boat.  New York was an absolute blast.  Very lucky that we stayed in the heart of the city and had enough time off to really enjoy it.  Katz’s deli sandwich was a highlight as was dinner at Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay’s Restaurant).  We did a few parties for fashion week where my foofy side was unleashed and another guest trip.  I had too many appetizers to cook for a big party so I outsourced the sushi to Morimoto’s (Chef Morimoto the Iron Chef) and it was awesome!  I was only a few blocks from the Chelsea Market and spent a ton of time over there just shopping, drinking coffee, eating, reading, etc.  I saw my first Broadway Musical (Chicago), and had a blast, tons of fun.  Catherine Zeta-Jones was a charter guest for a week on a boat I worked on several years ago so I knew every song (should I be admitting that?).  I’m pretty lucky, I was getting paid to run to the farmers markets, whole foods, chinatown, etc. and bring back to the boat and cook great food with it (life’s a bitch).  My vacation start in few days- can’t wait (watch out Mexico here I come).  Then when I get back to the boat we are pretty much done up here and it’s down South for the winter.  I think we are going way down south (think near Venezuela), I will let you know as it happens.  Anyway, it was a blast and I got to do so much of the things I didn’t get a chance to do when I was living here last year.
