'FOUR MORE YEARS'

Today was a memorable day. We were up early and out the door for a local breakfast. After a stroll along the High Line Park in Chelsea, we grabbed a cab to the Guggenheim Museum in the Upper East side.  After a light lunch in the Gallery’s restaurant, we embarked on a master-class in Picasso as we spiralled our way through the Black and White phase(s) of his career. After a restful afternoon, we made our way to HUDSON CLEARWATER in the West Village for our 7.30pm diner reservation. The restaurant is ‘so hot right now’, it took effort to secure a reservation. Once there, we feasted on,

Butter Clam Gnocchi, Peekytoe Crab Cakes, Crispy Duck Breast on Forbidden Rice with Red Curry Nage, Pan Seared Arctic Char, Spice-Rubbed Pork Chop, Grilled Hanger Steak, Chocolate-Banana brioche bread pudding, Honeycrisp apple tarte tatin, and all washed down with a Jean Paul & Droin Chablis and a Domaine Sanvers & Cotton Gamay.           http://www.hudsonclearwater.com/

When we got home, we started watching the election on TV. Most of the coverage on ABC was coming live from Times Square so Ollie and I decided to walk up to take in the spectacle. And what a spectacle it was. A huge pro-Obama crowd cheered wildly every time an update was displayed on one of the huge screens. As he inched closer to victory, the crowd began chanting ‘FOUR-MORE-YEARS’. When the election result was finally announced, the crowd went wild and we went home, tired, excited and very content.
