I arrived in the Big Apple (after flying for 22 hrs) and made it directly to the Meat Packing District where I was invited to a dinner hosted by
Clothworks Textiles. Normally, I'd check into the hotel first but there was no time! I was looking forward to catching up with the owner Ted and meeting a few of the very talented artists who also work with Clothworks - the very sassy
Ellen Crimi Trent, the delightful
Sharyn Sowell and the fabulous
Sue Zipkin.
Dinner at
Scarpetta was amazing!!! Exceptional Italian food and wines. I couldn't not post without showing you some food porn - homemade pastas, fresh seafood etc......if you're ever in NY, I recommend it.
