NYC

Been really busy in New York City.  Trying to see all my favorites who live here still and spend some time with my family.  Boyfriend has been looped into drinking with my father, lots.

My two favorite highlights thus far:

red panda hunting at the central park zoo!  

and...

brunch at Marc Forgione's restaurant!

While the central park zoo isn't nearly as big or cool as the bronx zoo, you can really get up close to see most of the animals there, which is something I love.  Additionally, the red pandas do a little "panda patrol" around the perimeter of their enclosure, stopping to pose and smile for the cameras!

Additionally, the snow leopard is totally sweet... but he was moving way too quickly for a picture.

And Marc Forgione's is amazing, as you would expect from an Iron Chef.
