We slept in this morning - first time since... I don't remember when. :-) I made a reservation at MOMA The Modern's dinning room for lunch at 12:30pm. We had the "three courses and dessert" set menu. Two of us had:
* Cannelloni filled with Fresh Herbs and Artichoke
* Blue Fin Tuna Carpaccio with Red Finger Chili
* Black Sea Bass with Lima and Cranberry Beans, Parsley and New Garlic
* Monkfish Roasted with Pancetta, Tomato and Savory Herb
* Honey Lacquered Pork Belly with Onion Confit and Ginger, Pea Puree
* Lamb T-Bone dusted with Cumin Seed, Fondue of Onion, Date and Black Olive
* Strawberry Macaron, Almond Mousseline, Strawberry Sorbet
* Chocolate Tart, Chocolate "Cremeux" and Sorbet
and freshly brewed coffee to go with the dessert. We were there until about 2:30pm. The restaurant is beside MOMA (dinning room looks out to the museum's court yard).
We spent the rest of the afternoon in MOMA - it's my favourite museum in NYC because it's full of practical and usable art!
We skipped dinner since we were still full from the big lunch. We went to see Lion King at Minskoff theatre at 8pm. I booked the tickets a couple of months ago for the best seats in the house. This is, by far, my favourite musical! The music, the costume, the set, everything is just wonderful!!! Another special thing about it is that Chris and I went to see Lion King the movie as our first date in 1994. :-)
After the show, we took Diana's advice and went to the View lounge - a revolving restaurant where we could see the Times Square night view. We took a cab "home" afterwards.
