Some Things Are Just Worth Going Broke For

What a beautiful sight:

It's the most wonderful time of the year... NYC Winter Restaurant Week 2007!

I have been keeping very busy the last few days sorting out where to eat and when.  One could have worse problems.   Thus far there's dinner at The Beacon, The Modern, Alfama, Artisanal, and Bolo,  lunch at db, and a spot on the wait list for lunch at Gramercy Tavern.  If I can handle it, there may be another one or two, though the other places I was hoping to hit for lunch -- The River Cafe and Cafe Boulud -- are completely booked. 

Goodness.  I'm feeling tired (and full) just thinking about it all.

You of all people do not need to be told this at all, but I feel like passing it on and decided your blog is the most appropriate forum I know: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/12840743/porks_dirty_secret_the_nations_top_hog_producer_is_also_one_of_americas_worst_polluters/1

Yuck.

OH OH!
I never responded to you, when you first mentioned this, but....are you doing lunches any of these days?
Any chance you could squeeze an Amy in (if any of the lunches are midtownish)?

I haven't looked at this blog in months but how was Artisanal?? I went there with Seth a couple of summers ago and, although the serving sizes were wee, i was blown away with tasty cheeses.

I'd just like to point out that as I was spelling that, I thought "Arti's anal, that can't be right".

I'm really enjoying the last few posts in which you describe your process - very informative!
