A-B-C

It's been a busy week at work this week, punctuated by time with Jay "ShortBus" Phillips, Project Runway with Michele Little, and an ABC Home adventure with Angy Merola.

Jay and I met after work Tuesday to take in Doherty's Irish Pub in Midtown. We also met up with Captain and Ginger who ensured the night was a hit. It was swiftly followed with the Project Runway premiere with Michele as we watched Heidi boot the first contestant. It's going to be a great season!
And last night, I spent a few hours dancing in the aisles of ABC Home in the Flatiron District... and I'm going back for more! Granted, there's nothing to go back for per se since I'm not in-market in any way for home furnishings, but it was just an awesome shop -- and we only got to check out one of the two stores! Angy's on the prowl for draperies for her Fremont/Phinney home and the Silk Trading Co. was there to make her every taffeta dream come true!

We ended the night at Aleo, a quaint Italian restaurant not too far away (20th between 5th & Broadway). Angy scored with Parapadella with mushrooms and snow peas in a thick white cream sauce. My Clam Linguine was good; the sauce was great, but I prefer a thicker noodle. A small port and lava cake later though, and we were out the door and into the warm New York night.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, though not to the weather: low 90s, high humidity. Erin McMonigal and Ted Corbett are in town through the weekend. As is Jay. And come Monday, JP takes Manhattan! I can't wait!
