RITZY RED ROOSTER

Red Rooster Harlem AIN'T Red Rooster Australia! President Obama chose this chef for his inaugural dinner at the White House. My Back Yard Bird (not Christine) was terrific as was C's Shrimp in Dirty Rice. We got a bit lost in Harlem, but folks were very helpful in setting us in the right direction. Last night the warehouse-based production of "Sleep No More"ased ever so loosely on Macbeth was considered pretentious by The Rev and pleb old me enjoyed it thoroughly. As the New York Times stated, it was as if Kubrick designed a haunted house for Disneyworld. ( Christine's comment is that an "over the top 100 room set" does not a drama make!) Jeremy and Zoe will be pleased to know we walked to the bus via Chelsea, which looked quite quaint at 11.00pm.

This morning saw us exploring Bleeker Street/Greenwich Village area. Neither of us had been there before and it was an absolute joy to sit quietly in Washington Square Gardens just watching the world go by. Harlem was feisty and wonderfully "in your face" by contrast!

Sorry to hear that Liz and Franc are having too many visits to the vet (with GG, not them). Hope GG is already home and O.K. Sorry not to hear from any of the boys, but trust we'll get some news in Tennesee (we leave tomorrow morning).

Hi Mum & Dad.

Apologies for not commenting. Been keeping track via Facebook. Looks like you are having an awesome time. And that 9/11 experience...WOW!!
Things have been the normal busy from our end. Poor Pip has been sick which has meant we have not had a good nights sleep in the last 10 nights.
Zo has settled into work, and Toby is loving being at family day care 2 days per week.

Looking forward to future posts!

Love from us all!
