Hurricane Irene Appears

We caved into the 24hr news coverage of the impending hurricane in anticipation. On Friday night we tried Swaddee, a Thai restaurant in Thornwood before we began our shut in for the weekend. It was a typical small town Thai place with the usual menu options.

On our way home , we stopped by Stop & Shop and witnessed the panic first hand. Bread & milk all gone!

Thankfully we were not affected by the hurricane, so it turned out be a weekend of staying in with food,movies and news.

Lukshi's Bon Voyage

Lukshi's farewell was on 08/19/11.

We had a family dinner at Rosa Mexicana at Union Square, Lukshi's favorite locale for dining in the city. Good food and even better guacamole!

Dinner was followed by drinks at Stanton Public, a very low key bar. We got a few tables in the outdoor patio and it was a great night to be in the city.

Next day Nelson's parents visited us to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. After three unsuccessful attempts at finding a good brunch spot on a rainy Sunday. Horsefeathers in Tarrytown worked out at the end and we all enjoyed the food. The historical theme and the interesting decor made it step up from a diner.
