Hi folks
we’ve just come back from New York. we had no snow but it was bitterly cold (see image attached). it was a very busy time from the business point of view but well worth it. I celebrated my birthday while I was out there and we went with some friends to an Italian restaurant called Dino’s on 3rd Avenue where we had Pizzas which were excellent even by our standards. we also went into China Town with some local folks and went to a place called Jo’s Shanghai. The place was a rough as a bears bum but the food was awesome and really cheap, a huge meal and beers only came to $70. As ever we spent lots of time in the evenings at our favourite bar the BXL but as it was so cold going out was a major expedition.
As soon as I came back I was off for a brief trip to Munich It was literally an overnight-er but I was taken to a restaurant called the spaten house (I think) which was a traditional Bavarian eatery. It was a meat feast of excellence I had a Bavarian traditional platter as a starter followed by Pork knuckle and Dumplings for the main I chickened out on the desert because I would have burst if I’d tried. Also the wine was really good not at all like the normal poo we get in the UK, it seems the Germans keep all the good stuff for themselves. Finally on a food note what about the Kraft/Cadbury’s thing eh! yet another institution going overseas, I only hope they don’t ruin the quality of the Choccy! American chocolate is pants compared. By the way I read Duncan’s article about the Fubar in Beijing I will definitely giver that a whirl next time I’m there, I confess to being a hot dog aholic .anyway enough for now more later
regards
the boss
