New York City Sept. 12-16

We heart NY. Despite Simona's years of defectation, it still is home. Eli is entrenched in the NYC honeymoon phase (having visited the place with a number of native New Yorkers as his guides, but never having lived here).

We've spent the days seeing as many friends as we can and spending time with Simona's mother Cinzia. We enjoyed a number of great meals - the delicious Mexican at Rosa Mexicana in midtown stands out (Eli is a sucker for bourgeois Mexican food). We also had the pleasure of hosting a co-ed baby shower for our friend Jessie, and of sinking our teeth into Cinzia's incredible eggplant parmigiana. And we got to visit the new bar Pacific Standard in Brooklyn, which Eli's college friends recently opened. Check it out.

Catherine's company, Flavorpill, hosted a DJ party in the planetarium at the Museum of Natural History. Judging from the overwhelming number of hipsters in attendance, we were entertained by some amazing semi-live electronica. The setting was pretty awesome. I would be a great place to throw a wedding.
