New York (home;)

Raph's workmate Paul (pictured with Raph, left) kindly lent us his beautiful flat in the West Village (on location in Greenwich!) while he was away in Calgary (thank you, Paul!)... and the short breaths continue: saw "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" (fantastic) and "The Young Frankenstein" (awful) on Broadway, saw an amateur Burlesque contest in Brooklyn (Raph tried to photograph the emcee, who promptly dragged him onstage for a better photo, see picture right, whilst I was dragged onstage for an amateur air-guitar contest), went ice-skating in Central Park, flamencoed it up with my fabulous teacher Vittorio and his pink stage lights, feasted at Sardis (pictured left), Cosi, Cafe Lalo, Alice's Tea Cup, Tea & Sympathy (pictured right) & Magnolia Bakery, late nights at The Parlour, The Place, Benny's Burritos and The Blind Tiger, visited with my precious lovelies, Aditi, Anna, Daita, Dani, Joseph, Tania & Zayed (missed you Kaiti & Mor!) and even squeezed in a shopping trip to Macys and a spa visit-- how? Nothing ever closes-- I miss New York!!
