After two days of bliss you are back in Manhattan. It is getting late. You confirm your dinner reservation, rummage through your closet in search of something to wear. Pull one of the countless black dresses - always appropriate, always dependable. The restaurant is not your favorite one, but it is only block away from the Carnegie Hall - tonight's destination. You don't care for the interior - wall mirrors, Lalique crystal wall sconces, bronze sculptures, pink granite.... Your mother might appreciate it, you don't. The waiter takes your order. You choose the appetizer tasting (mostly Foie Gras, Salmon, more Salmon, and Caviar), Short Ribs for main course, cheese flight, and chocolate tort. The selection is good tasting, but not unforgettable. You doubt you'll return.
