Hey friends...It's Bobby....
Hooray! It's the weekend.So, how did I spend it?
Saturday takes me to Union Square, where I spend the morning at the outdoor market. In addition to the wonderful fruits and veggies, I satisfy my addictions to Martin's pretzels and to Rockhill Bakery's biscotti.
Then on to Pret a Manger for midmorning coffee.Time to go home to read the N.Y. Times.
Dinner takes me to Aldea, a Portuguese, Mediterranean, seafood restaurant, on W. 17th St.
I had the arroz de pato (duck confit, chorizo,olives and orange),with a glass of Portuguese red wine from the Duero area.
Enough about food, though you can guess, I am obsessed with food, despite my thin body.
Sunday is movie time, unless there is nothing to attract me, in which case I go to a museum or some other activity. This week I saw a movie made in Quebec called "Monsieur Lazhar".
It focuses on a classroom and their teacher. I found it exremely moving and sad, although there are some light moments.
I enjoyed it very much.
I chose the Angelica movie house in Soho because I love the area, the movie played at the right time, and it was close to a favorite place for lunch,Tarralucci et Vino on 1st Ave. and 10th St.
Lots of paninis to choose from. Finally back home,I can indulge in the Sunday N.Y.Times
See you next weekend.
Bobby
