Happy Birthday! Love celebrations over a few days:). You look great and happy!

Thank you all! I hope to add some individual replies but I’ve been paying for having yesterday off, in terms of work....

JAileen - neither can I! I have good genes

Joy - we had hard cider actually. They had some great cider options and we’re big fans.


Diana - there is also a restaurant called Raclette that specializes in it, in the East Village. They do a more traditional raclette there, where they bring a big wheel of cheese to the table and scrape it on to the plate.

Rain B and Jenni - Yes, the Lion King was fantastic. Can’t believe I didn’t go sooner...

Sisi - at the Italian place I had mushroom and black truffle ravioli, and we shared caprese salad. My husband had a meat sauce with four types of meat and my I’m had Ossobucco for the first time ever. (I do eat meat but don’t generally prefer it - the mushroom dish was a tray for me as my husband doesn’t like them much).

Angie - I bat for Team Cheese all day, every day.

Lisa - slingbacks are fab. I bet they will come around again - Madewell repeats styles.

Happy belated birthday! What a handsome couple you make. You look absolutely gorgeous in that dress!

Happiest of birthdays. Enjoy your 40's!! Super outfit to usher in a decade. Trip to Boston sounds fun - Italian in the North End?!
