Hi there…..Happy May 1st!! Exciting that the winter is finally behind us. So, how is it going? It’s? been raining cats and dogs for the last two days and though its my favorite sleeping weather, it does make venturing out a little more of a nuisance. Is there anything better than getting to stay home on a rainy day! I don’t remember the last time it happened but its fun to fantasize:)<\/p>\n

MAIALINO.<\/strong> As luck would have it though I ventured out for a great reason……to meet a friend in NYC for lunch yesterday. We went to Maialino? at The Grammercy Park Hotel, it is one of Danny Meyer’s restaurants and one of my faves….both the food and atmosphere are so fabulous. Here is? a peek just in case you are heading to NYC anytime soon…….<\/p>\n
