Plaza Garden Deli Review (New York, NY 10017) »

This deli is located conveniently just up the block from the Millenium UN Plaza Hotel, which means we visited it often while we were in New York. Since the location is somewhat small, the selection is also somewhat small, but overall it isn't bad and you can find what you need at most times of day.

New York on my Mind »

Yesterday I arrived in New York City after a relatively eventful trip. The flight left Charlotte after just a couple minute delay, then we sat on the runway for about fifteen minutes behind some other planes. The flight itself was okay, and the landing was very nice, but then we sat on the La Guardia runway for at least thirty minutes because of ground congestion. That was horrible.

Once inside, the process sped considerably. It actually took less time for me to get from the gate to the ground transportation desk to the shutle the the hotel in Manhattan than it did from the end of the runway to the gate. Absolutely insane. Now I'm in the Westin Times Square at the Six Apart Business Blogging Seminar listening to Anil speak. Back home next week unless there's more ground congestion.

Coastal Insurance Insanity »

Reading articles likes this one makes me glad that we live nowhere near the coast. One homeowner in Key West, Florida last year had a wind storm premium for her 1500 square foot home of $14,472. That is absolutely insane, but it's apparently not unusual.

The Noho Star Review (New York, NY 10012) »

We went out with some relatives, and they recommended we try out a local place for dinner. They apparently knew what they were doing a bit better than we did. They had the meatloaf and the turkey schnitzel, both of which were pretty tasty. We had a Chinese chicken and rice dish (good, but a bit bland) and a bacon cheese burger (decent, but difficult to eat).

Caffe Reggio Review (New York, NY 10012) »

After the debacle at The Noho Star we wandered about for a place to have dessert and settled on a nice place in Greenwich Village, full of character. Of course, one thing the village is not short on is character, so about anywhere we picked probably would have been okay on that front. We chose some tasty cannolis and some beverages.
