In January, we celebrated our five year (and one month) anniversary. Five years! We went to a restaurant called Scarpetta. Turns out it's owned by Scott Conant, a judge on The Food Network show Chopped and 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, so I was super excited being the Food Network fan that I am. The polenta was to die for and the entrees were delicious. Marsh got the spaghetti (they're known for it), I got the pumpkin casonei and we shared the dry aged sirloin.
Trains were delayed - surprise! Had to take a cab to make our res. Marsh tried out his new point and shoot camera he got for Christmas. It did pretty good in the dark.
Marsh bought me beautiful flowers.
After dinner we went to see Real Estate at a Chinese food buffet in the middle of nowhere. It was so random, but awesome. Marsh was really happy he got to see them live. There was the oddest assortment of people there - we kept looking at each other and laughing at the amazing get ups we saw. I can't even begin to describe. Let's just say we had nick names for at least three of them: Fancy, Warlock, and the Dancing Asian. We miss them.
In February, we ate at a place called Lil' Frankies on the lower east side. The wallpapered walls and vintage photographs made us feel like we were visiting the Italian grandmother we never had. The food was delicious. Marsh got a pizza with some sort of sausage on it and I got gnocchi.
