Holiday Recap



What better way to spend Christmas Day than enjoying cocktails at the recently completed Mandarin Oriental in the yet-to-be completed Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle? The Oak Bar at the Plaza was my first choice, but it was packed with tourists. Yuck. So we wandered over to the west side to check out the bar at the Mandarin.

Very cool, but I couldn't help but notice an alarming amount of shoddy workmanship throughout - note how the particleboard covering the bar bows under my drink.

Better times were had in Montreal the following week. Those Canadians know how to enjoy winter...I love this lamppost spotted near an outdoor ice skating rink.



More holiday photos coming soon to the gallery.
