The things that I will miss in New York while I am away are:
1. Chinese New Year. There will tasty dishes, crab and sticky rice, and red envelopes!
2. Jackie's Annual Dumpling Party. Dumplings and much merriment!
3. Bimbim bap at Seoul Garden with J.
4. J. himself, of course.
5. Drinks at Xai Xai with Elle & co.
6. Snow! I hate the cold in general, but I am sure that when I am wilting in 104 degree weather in a truck full of sweaty overlanders in Botswana, I will think enviously of those New Yorkers playing in Prospect Park in the snow.
7. The New Yorker. Anyone read the short story in the latest issue, "Diary of an Interesting Year"? Fascinating and disturbing! Sometimes the New Yorker comes up with truly weird little pieces.
8. Coffee, a croissant and the New York Times on leisurely Sunday mornings.
9. Operas. While I am away, J. will have to find an opera buddy to attend a couple of operas with him, including La Fille du Regiment, starring Juan Diego Flórez, the fetching Argentine tenor.
10. Movies at the Angelika, Lincoln Plaza Cinema and BAM with my movie-going buddies.
11. The Hot Chocolate Festival at City Bakery. Hot chocolate to knock your socks off! Arabian Nights Hot Chocolate anyone?
