The Sake-tini

Today was the full New York thing - suits, presentations, deals, coffees, fine dining, and night clubbing.  It was interspersed with the usual taxi attempted rip offs, walking a few blocks on a beautiful afternoon, and an afternoon nap.

Dinner in the meat packing district (cool) was at Spice Market (cool and tasty), left everyone feeling cool and well taste-bud-tastified.

We spent a bunch of the evening at Tao, which featured high priced diva drinks that combine old classics in ways trendy enough to require that more than a $20 bill is needed.  Herein was my lesson of the day: Don't pay cash for sex and the city priced sake-tini's when there's a tab going under someone else's name!
At the very least, this helps cover the overhead of the decor (pretty nice) although the urinal being a glass wall with a motion sensor activated rain that falls on it was almost overkill; but to really complete the overkill it was also backlit on the same motion sensor.  So basically to take a leak, there's a glowing luminesence on your crotch, but you need to stand back to not get rained on.  Seriously.

  2. I had a similar bathroom experience in the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, where the bathroom in Felix (on the top 2 floors of the hotel) were granite urinals in front of a glass wall overlooking all of Hong Kong... I'm a big fan of novelty bathrooms!
