I just got back from NYC a couple hours ago.
The wedding was delightful, the reception was raucous, the after-party was
deep thumping loud and obnoxious.
The blisters on my feet are big enough to be seen from space which is weird
since my feet are tiny. I learned at 4am, while drunk, that if you aren't
careful you can end up on a train to Queens and getting back can be confusing.

The highlight of the trip (besides the drunk guy at the reception that threw
me to the floor and jumped on me) was meeting RFC's true Royalty, Margaret
Suran.

There is nothing I can say that will truly sum up what a wonderful and sweet
person Margaret is. David and I met Margaret and Marcel at Carmines on
Broadway Sunday night. Margaret puts you instantly at ease, she is one of the
most comfortable people I've been around. We ate and drank and laughed and
Margaret told a deliciously scandalous story that left me speechless.

Our dinner started with a very garlicky caeser salad, anchovies on the side. I
even tried some anchovy and it as not so bad. Next was eggplant parmigiana,
super delightful. The entree was veal in lemon butter sauce on linguini which
was just excellent. We finishedoff the meal with ice cream and espresso.

Margaret sent me home with a care package, food so we wouldn't starve on the
plane! Chocolate covered graham crackers, rugelach and 2 apples.

There are no words to describe how happy I am to have met Margaret, she is
truly an incredible and hysterical person.

I did not realize Margaret lives in New York. I love that city, there's
nothing like
it. It's been way too long since I visited.

It has been my pleasure and delight to have met Margaret (and Marcel)
in person several times now over the last few years. She is, indeed,
an amazing woman and generous to a fault. I'm still in a snit over her
sneaky picking up the check at the 2nd Ave. Deli (may it rest in
peace) a couple of years go with my daughter, who also adores her. I
am also grateful for her wonderful brunch with some of our NY RFCers
last May when we were there for my daughter's art exhibit opening.
Zabars likely had to restock, as the table was groaning!

Salud, Margaret!

Margaret's gentility and generosity know no bounds. She is also one of the
most delightful people I have ever known, and I have yet to actually meet
her in person. :-(

I will make the effort to always meet up with Margaret every time I am in New
York. Her warmth and happiness just enveloped us. Hopefully next time I will
have more time.
