I love good food, good drinks, fast cars, photography and New York City. I've been an Apple fanboy my entire life and worked on Final Cut Pro for 6 years.

My last fancy dinner in New York City
Gary (Liu) took me and Joe out for dinner tonight since Joe and I are both heading back to the west coast. Gary was my freshman year roommate and even after we left college, he remained one of my closest friends. Four years ago we travelled to Brazil together. And three years ago I joined him in New York.
We had a grand New York feast at Nougatine, the casual dining room of the Michelin 3 star restaurant Jean Georges (they share one kitchen). What an incredible meal. We shared all the food:
Drinks
Passion: Bourbon and passion juice. Amazing
Pinot Noir wine
Appetizers
Tuna Tartare
Beet Salad
Peekyote Crab Cake
Fois Gras Brulee
Entrees
Snapper
Pork Chop
Short Ribs
Dessert
Jean Georges Chocolate Cake
A really amazing meal. We all loved it. After three years of New York dining, we have all become very critical of these types of restaurants. It takes a lot to make us happy, and Nougatine does it well (and at less than half the price of the formal dining room next door).
On the way home I got off at Union Square and walked about a mile home. I passed by so many bars and restaurants I have been to in the past three years, so many memories. I am going to miss this city.
I am also going to miss Gary and Joe, of course. Joe will be in California for a few months coming up, so I'll see him again soon. But then he's going to Korea and then Hong Kong for a while (maybe three years). And Gary is staying in New York.
After college Gary and I found ourselves together in New York. After high school, Joe and I lost touch, then found each other in San Francisco, then moved to New York within weeks of each other and are now moving out of New York within weeks of each other.
Thanks for dinner Gary. I will miss you.
