And we celebrated by me cooking a lot of food.
This was the menu:
Drinks - White wine sangria, tequilla, scotch, champagne, beer and wine
Appetizers - spicy mixed nuts that I made with Chinese five spice and togarashi, really delicious deviled eggs with horseradish and Coleman's and spicy mustard and sour cream and pepperoncini juice and dill (and a few other things), raw veggies with ranch sour cream dip which I added a lot of dried dill to (yum), and mini pesto BLTs. More on those later
Dinner - Garlic bread on halved ciabatta sandwich rolls and white chicken chili with roasted chilis with sour cream, green onions and sharp cheddar cheese for toppings.
Dessert - Chocolate cake with fluffy white icing and spumoni ice cream (Eric has a fondness for crappy foods, which may or may not have to do with growing up in Scranton, I'm not judging) and pumpkin pie with whipped cream
The BLTs were the best I've ever had. I cut the bacon slices in half and baked the bacon on a rack in the oven at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Meanwhile I cut a bunch of Kings Hawaiian rolls in half and spread them with a mixture of mayonnaise and pesto then topped that with sliced little tomatoes and arugula. When the bacon came out of the oven I put one piece of bacon on each sandwich and that was it. One of the top sandwiches of all time, no joke.

SPUMONI?!?!?! Myron likes spumoni. That is almost unforgiveable, but then I re-read the drink list and decided this was very much a party style I could get down with. Sounds awesome. Hope it was fun!!! NYC was a very diff't experience than you and I do--must less shopping and drinking, and we didn't go south of Madison Square Gardens! crazy. Felt like a different city.
I did that my first trip to NY. We stayed in midtown and downtown was like a foreign country. We talked about going to Little Italy for dinner one night but never made it because it was just so FAR! and UNKNOWN! I like our NY better :)
