Busy weekend, as evidenced by not a lot of postings. Had some friends in town, visiting, Bobby and Judit, and Jen. Went out Friday, to a cool restaurant in the Village - Cuba. Good food, the best seafood paella I've had in a long time, and live music. From there, we went to 1849, and a ton of other places. Didn't make it home until very late.

On Saturday had dinner w Jen at 21, a landmark New York Restaurant. From its own site:

"Once a glamorous speakeasy, today '21' is one of the most celebrated restaurants in New York City. In addition to its two restaurants, the Bar Room and 'Upstairs', this four-story townhouse features ten private dining rooms, including the legendary Prohibition-era Wine Cellar. "

The place has an interesting collection of toys as well. We sat at table 2, which is Larry King's table.

After that, went to see the Phatom of the Opera, most impressive, the longest running show in Broadway, and with good reason. An amazing experience.

Hit Central Park on Sunday, gorgeous weather. Did some shopping in the afternoon, stopped by Asia de Cuba for a cocktail, watched a movie in the evening - The Constant Gardener.

Fun weekend . Will post a few pics when I get the chance.

Forgot to say, Barca beat Benfica today to move on the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And here's the Pokemon Theme, another classic:
