Soho, NY

after all the time spent admiring the classic, vintage exterior of this restaurant i finally got to eat there for a small company dinner. apparently the entrance to the actual restaurant is through a secret 'employee's only' doorway. then you have to go down a set of stairs and through the kitchen into this beautifully rustic and cozy dining area. all very new york.

as a side note, afterwards i took a cab home to queens and was in my apartment less than 15 minutes later. i was shocked and awed to say the least.
