Seeing Cindy's Food Porn blog today (on her recent vacation to New York City) got me really excited about my upcoming trip to NYC in 3 weeks. Work is sending me to Tarrytown (our HQ) for about a week but planning to check out my old stomping grounds in Manhattan over the weekend. My wonderful hubby is planning to join me over the weekend and already, we've been talking about where we're going to go eat. Haha.So we're in the process of making reservations at Sfoglia one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants in the Upper East Side. I called yesterday and left a message but they haven't gotten back to me, yet. Or Babbo (I haven't been) or Blue Hill, our other favorite restaurant. Or we might try Sugiyama which was very highly reviewed on Yelp. I can't go anywhere without reading Yelp first. Hehe.
Anyone know what the latest eats are in NYC?
That's also the weekend of my 20 miler. Not sure if i want to run Central Park 3 times (which I've done before) or run the perimeter of the island, which really isn't my ideal run... Question for Running Laminator and Laura (or anyone else in NYC for that matter), what do you guys do for your long runs?
Ok, I am really jealous that I am missing the NYCM this weekend. I am totally going to throw my name in the lottery for next year!! And best of luck to the Running Laminator and my friend Jason C who are running the race on Sunday!
Over the weekend, I did a 9 miler trail run with my running group and had some good chats with my running coach. She is a few years shy from 50 but she's in such a great shape (runs 3:20 marathons) you'd never think that she's approaching that age. I'm totally inspired! She's planning on doing the Surf City in February and I'm contemplating that marathon, too. (Although, I've told all my friends to run the Kaiser Perm Half Marathon on the same day in San Francisco... Oops.) I rested Sunday because the trail run was SO tough. I don't think I was fully recovered from the Nike Marathon, yet. Which was nice because I got to sleep in and have a lazy Sunday. I went out for a 6 miler after work yesterday and FELT great! I was doing about 9:10 mile pace which I haven't been able to do for a little while.
Great job on the runs. How exciting for you that you are coming to NYC.
ReplyDeleteLucky you get to go to NYC!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run! Nice pace!
I'd love to go to NYC. good luck with the 20 miler this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! NYC is such a fun city. Despite wanting to plan a non-lottery blogger marathon meetup next fall I'd love to personally enter the lottery. I know NYCM is on my list and my husbands.
ReplyDeletesoooo fun! i have never been to NYC and have ALWAYS wanted to go... someday!
ReplyDeleteRuth K on dailymile lives in Manhattan and would be a GREAT resource, not only for restaurants, but for running in Central Park.
ReplyDeleteWhenever we go anywhere I always plan our restaurant destinations first! I look forward to seeing some tantalizing photos, both of your food and your 20 miler. I have never run in NYC myself...
ReplyDeleteHave fun in NYC!! Enjoy the change of scenery for your long run!
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice returning to a familiar place. Sfoglia looks amazing. It will also be nice to run in NYC, a little change of scenery to keep the 20 interesting.
ReplyDeleteyou're going to have so much fun!
ReplyDeletesugiyama (sp?) looks great--such beautiful food! we thought about babbo too. so much good food, so little time :)
Have a great time at NYC! I'll be interested to see where you end up doing your 20-miler.
ReplyDeleteI'm no help, but have fun in NY!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you-- so bummed i'm missing the NYC Marathon!!!!!! my boyfriend's mom is running, too... BOOOOOooooo!!! i can't wait to hear all about it from everyone.....
ReplyDeleteNYC is a fun time! I don't have any recommendations, I Think I went to BECCO and really liked it. Definitely enter the lottery for NYC. I ran it in 2006. I might apply next year too! Glad your runs are going well!! CIM is coming up and going to be great!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in NYC! I'm so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteNYC...I am so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time and enjoy your twenty New York miles!
I'm jealous of your NYC trip! I can't wait to hear all about it. I've never been but would LOVE to go!!
ReplyDeleteHi Julianne...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the shout-out. Sorry I'm late. As for your question of the 20 miler...I'd like to recommend the run over two bridges and up the West Side...I talked about it on one of my earlier blog posts this month, but here's a link on mapmyrun http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/ny/brooklyn/934311916210
(If that link doesn't work, its mentioned in my 10/4/08 post)
So excited that you're coming back to the big city!
I am just impressed that you're running another marathon so close to Nike...what a rock star you are!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in NYC...one of the best cities EVAH!
Good luck on NYC. Thanks for the post on the blog, glad you liked the name Mighty Mustache. It may be, the only compliment we may get as a band!

I LOVE NY. The good eats are to die for and at every corner, it seems. Can't you just pack me in your bag???
ReplyDeleteBTW, it'd be my honor to photograph you two, if you're ever up for it. My brother's baby is due in early May, so I will probably be back in the Bay Area then. Let's definitely do it!!! You think of a nice place.
Ooooohhhh chica have fun in NYC. Lots of Bloggers from that hood ;-)
ReplyDelete3 weeks in NY? Lucky!
ReplyDeleteTotally forgot to answer your question: I'm taking my GMAT on December 10th. After that $250 out of my pocket, I'm studying hard. Sign up for it because like running, it's the only way you'll push to make time for it!
ReplyDeleteSo fun going to NYC! I'm jealous and like you I'm a yelper too :) And do surf city! I am and so is POM!! :)
ReplyDeleteNYC sounds so fun. I hvae only been once for a girls weekend. We waisted much of it hung over. oh well.
ReplyDeleteI vote surf city. But I'm only doing the half.
I was totally planning on doing the kaiser half, but I think I might be sick of running the same course though SF, so surfcity was my next option for a half...maybe I will see you there :)
ReplyDeleteand SO jealous you're going to NYC! I would love to go there!
Great Blog!
ReplyDeleteI love NYC and I have only been there once. I hope to go back someday soon. Have fun on your work trip.
nyc is fun. I have only been there a couple of times. Good job with the runs. Those times are better than I have been managing lately.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, when you come to NYC, you have to try my favorite restaurant: L'Ecole. It is the best!

The Delta Grill is also really good.
