Didn't do much for the birthday until yesterday when I hit Venice Beach with BitterNY and met up with some friends from New York. The water was amazing and so was the company. For the most part, everyone was a restaurant person. I worked with Sholi at the Asian mega bistro where I met BitterNY and he is going to law school too. Pretty cool to have someone around to freak out with (he's around and I freak out). Sara was on Top Chef a few seasons ago and moved to Chicago to open an all Top Chef restaurant. She's in town for a friend's bachelorette party. There was another chica there who I had met at the beach in Long Island. A random assortment, all in L.A. via New York.
Today was yet another extension of my birthday. I had lunch at Rustic Canyon. Amazing food. I was getting worried that I would not be able to find the kind of dining I had been accustomed to in New York. And, I had lunch with a friend from New York that I met when we worked together at the best little West Village NYC restaurant.
I feel like reminiscing. Here's a greatest hits version of our parties in Long Beach, NY.
