we went to our friend's modern dance recital saturday in the hell's kitchen neighborhood and following the show grabbed wine and appetizers with our other friend amanda, who ushered for the show...
this is me and amanda loving our window seat at this cute wine bar... 
after that, craig and i headed to brooklyn to eat a "gift" dinner on one of his subcontractors (their christmas gift to him)...and after an interesting dinner at giando on the water overlooking manhattan, we headed to against the grain in the east village, where we previously attended megan's birthday party (we really dig this place, megan, thanks for introducing us to it!)
belgian beer. only the finest.
