Soon after checking in on Sunday, I convinced my colleague Paula to go from the Hudson Hotel to Hudson Street for brunch at the Fatty Crab, where the menu builds on pork belly.

I would return for the “belly & egg”—pork belly and a fried egg on a brioche triangle (and for another cocktail that the bar creates for me, with a quail egg shooter).

We wandered through Murray’s cheese shop (I’m still tweaking the Thanksgiving menu), and explored the holiday craft vendors in Union Square to find these amazing little shirts for disruptive children:

Meeting up with my friend Eric, he pondered aloud professorship and status in a dark bar,

and then Paula and I marveled at the deviled eggs (read: pork toasts of awesome) and burgers at Resto before three acts of Complexions Dance at the Joyce Theater and the hotel’s Library Bar.

And I danced around my room before sleeping for a few hours in this city that doesn’t, dreaming about yesterday’s meetings with game designers, scintillating conversation with Mr. Shirky, and lardo pizza (all the dreams came true)…
