We left the Hotel and took the Subway to the look at the new New York Times building. We were not overly excited. We then taxied to Columbus Circle to see the nicest mall in NYC - the Time-Warner Center. Same stores as everywhere but an incredible view through the window of Columbus Circle. I walked over to view the new Hearst building and then we went to see more of the West Side to a flea market, where we were met by Courtney. Best of the flea market a guy he sells reconditioned vintage toasters. He was great and the toasters were fun.
We grabbed a sandwich and ate while walking to a clothing store: Really Great Things. We then took the subway to SOHO. We went to a huge Chinese gift store but it was kind of tacky, then on to the Yohji Yamamoto Store which was not tacky, but very black! The salesmen recommended two other stores that we went to, one was great: IF Soho.
We then went to the Mercer Hotel for drinks but they won't serve drinks to non-registered guests in the lounge. We walked to the Soho Grand Hotel which does serve wine to all in a far more beautiful room. It is a great Hotel and we would consider staying there but don't really like the location. We then subwayed and taxied to dinner at Momofuku Ssam where we met Yuh who we know from visiting her store near Tokyo and then re-meeting in Santa Fe. Scott joined us and we basically ate the menu and drank a lot! The food was very good, I really liked the ribs. They were terrific!
We then joined Courtney and Scott and they took us in a taxi to our Hotel.
Great Day!
