My friend Erin is in visiting me for the weekend.
First: These shoes rule. These shoes suck.
There was shopping. In Soho. For many hours. Then there was brunch. Then there was shopping. Dinner attire was purchased. As well as gifts. And other things.
Second: Pedicure. For the shoes, y'know.
Next, Le Berndardin: Chef's tasting menu accompanied by a fabulous bottle of Pouligny Montrache. Amaaaazing. The meal's highlights fell with the escolar and the calimari, however, it was "Egg" all the way ftw:
Milk Chocolate Pot de Crème, Caramel Foam, Maple Syrup, Maldon Sea Salt
It's all about the sweet and salty. Every bite found us unable to speak and closing our eyes we were so overwhelmed. It was possibly the best desert I've had in my life. And I'm not even a chocolate person.
I want Erin to stay foreeeeever.
