Well, it has been a 10 so far! We took the train up, arrived in NYC around 2, did some quick shopping.....then cab over to the hotel. I can't believe what a fairy tale-like trip it has been, and we've only been here for 8 hours!
First, we were upgraded (to say the least, by far) to an absolutely amazing and beautiful and enormous suite ..the staff and service here is the best I have experienced anywhere.
After reveling in our good fortune, snapping some silly photos, and having the "discussion" regarding the $12 pretzels and other goodies in the kitchen - bar, aka minibar , we headed to the store nearby for snacks, drinks, and wine--- of course!
Refreshed, we headed out to dinner. There was a long line for cabs..... But, luck being my lady (or guy) tonight, we were offered a complimentary stretch limo up to Tao! Andrew was in heaven! So was I, watching his excitement, climbing into the thing!!!
then..... Dinner. Loved Tao!!! We had hoped to have Jeanette and her son join us, but too many circumstances prevented.... So, a table forv2 it was. And it was a great table--- overlooking the lower floor and Koi pond. We shared the Chilean Sea Bass (excellent +), and the Pad Thai --also very good. An assortment of stir-fried veggies accompanied. An outstanding meal, fun vibe, and we had a nice walk back down Park Avenue to mellow.
Best part of the day: Andrew told me that this was the best day of his life......ahhhhhhh. I'm so happy!
