A Christmas Surprise

Posted by spoonful / 6 comments » / restaurant, SC, travels

I’m back! I’m alive & well…I had a WONDERFUL Christmas which included 10 days in Pennsylvania, New York & Vermont with the SC & my family.

On the day after Christmas, the SC & I went into New York City. As soon as we parked our car at 10 a.m. the first snow flake began to fall. By midnight 10 inches had fallen in the city! We had a magical time which included seeing Promises, Promises on Broadway!

After the musical we braved the blizzard to make our way to Central Park where my sister & mom were meeting us. We ended up at the corner of Central Park where the Plaza hotel sits. I really just wanted to run into the hotel to meet my family & get out of the cold but the SC insisted that we go into the park for a minute. Why would he make me do such a silly thing?

I said yes, {of course!}, & an October Nashville farm style wedding is in the works :)

 

We celebrated with an amazing Italian dinner at Il Punto Osteria Gelsi with my sister & mom. Although our waitress was in fact Russian she told us she had to learn Italian because the entire kitchen staff only speaks Italian. It doesn’t get much more authentic than that! Highlights of our meal included:

homemade pasta an addition of some surprisingly delightful blueberries in the sauce

Some of the largest & most delicious calamari rings I have ever seen! I even put one on my finger as joke {haha I’m so clever!}
stuffed artichokes

We toasted our engagement with some Port that was graciously given to us “on the house”

The restaurant, meal, day & especially the occasion {love!} is one we will never forget!
