Btw, in response to your comment on my blog, yes, I did end up having a deliciously wonderful birthday after all, thank you! My bf came home with an armful of hydrangeas and presents, we took a nice long nap, and then we went to our favorite seafood place, Pearl Oyster Bar on Cornelia Street, where I had clam chowder with smoked bacon and a lobster roll (and he had crabcakes and bouillabaise). Ellen and I will have to take you there the next time you’re in NYC!
