PEEP and MORE

I had planned a small get together to say good bye to a friend heading to B-school in the fall. After starting with a long list of restaurants, we settled on Peep, a trendy Thai fusion place in SoHo. Peep caught my eye while strolling about the area due to its ambience. It turned out to be a great spot for a group diner, with good food and drinks at an affordable price. It was $50 each for a three course(shared appetizers) meal with drinks. The restaurant got its name from the one way mirror in the bathroom that allowed guests to observe the dining area while doing their business! Peep really doesn't need this quirky distinguishing factor, but I guess it helps to stand out among the dozens of restaurants in the area.

After dinner we had drinks at Fat Black Pussycat, one of the few bars we know in the area. The lounge arae was laid back and we got chat without being bothered by loud music.

After relaxing indoors all Sunday we watched Woody Allen's latest, "Midnight in Paris." I really enjoyed it despite not knowing all the famous artists being portrayed. It makes anyone long for a summer day in Paris.

For dinner we tried out Neo Bistro in Mt Kisco due to the Groupon promotion. I loved the refreshing green themed decor. All diners were treated to a complimentary bowl of edamame. The food was good but it didn't seem to be anything special.
