Happy Suicide Prevention Day

Family in town yesterday, we did the classic pig-out at Szechuan Gourmet (fantastic as always), and then went to the 9/11 Memorial - I knew it was amazing from the TV shots, but even more impressive in person, and excited to see it when it's completely transformed.

Did dinner w Deeps, Phil, Sam & friend at Vandaag...which I thought was going to be Indian food? Who knows why, because it turned out to be Swedish. Not close at all. Had a good drink, good apps, a delicious amuse-bouche, a random soup course (yes this meal took FOREVER to serve), and then scarfed down my entree so I could make it to R Bar on time, but it was really really good:

That's a ton of mussels, shrimp, some kind of snail-esque thing, random other seafood, and the richest (in a good way) broth ever.

Post-dinner, big dance-fest at R Bar, which was awesome - basically everyone I know in NYC but never get a chance to see, lots of random people showed up and it was fantastic :)
