Visit to 421 Broome Street Today
Brown Eyes:
Thanks Chrissi,
Yeah, I don't recall the skateboard display from last year either. Lynne and I will be staying in that neighborhood again at the end of the month, so we can check it out again. It looked like it was maybe a skateboard / t-shirt / bags & accessories type store. The skateboards kind of gave me chills and also made me happy at the same time.

I understand.
And yay for you and Lynne :). The NYC gathering will be so much fun. Wish I could be with you :-*.

I ordered a very light lunch, in fact I only had a dessert consisting of orange slices sprinkled with...I believe it was cinnamon.

Now that is a light lunch!

John and I made the pilgrimage to 421 Broome today to pay homage to Heath. We met at 5:00 (exactly at sunset) at Osteria Morini, just around the corner from Heath's. If you click on the photo gallery on the website you can see John's chair in the lower right hand corner of the dining room picture (the lighting was much nicer than the bright lighting in the photo). It was the perfect place for comfort food on a very cold New York night. We drank red wine and John had stracci with mushrooms and I had beef ravioli and we shared some garlicky spinach---very yummy!
Afterwards we walked over to 421 and were happy to see two other offerings just to the left of the main door: a bouquet of paperwhites with a note from "Kirsty" and a lone Heath Bar. We added a bunch of winter berries that John had brought, making it three offerings. John took some pictures, but it was pretty dark, so you might have to look carefully at them when he posts them.
We walked a couple of blocks to the side entrance of the bar in the Crosby Street Hotel and ordered dessert and coffee. It's got modern but cozy decor and is a great place to meet up (for future reference). We each had the BEST dessert: three fresh fried donuts rolled in powdered sugar with warm chocolate dipping sauce. The donuts were round, somewhere between a golf ball and tennis ball in size. It was well worth going off my diet for! 8)
As always it was bittersweet walking in the footsteps of Heath, but with John to share it with it's really a good thing. And best of all, we can share it here, too. Love you, buds. :-*

Thanks so much for faithfully making the pilgrimage and leaving the winter berries. Love you both back!! :-*
