Way Cool “Meridian Restaurant” in Winston-Salem North Carolina

Carnegie Rocks — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 06:56:11 +0000

Though I would hardly call myself a restaurant critic, by just being a New Yorker, I am a fussy food foodie. Everyone in New York is an expert on everything (just ask them) … all New Yorkers think that they are foodies. Anyway, I think that the Meridian Restaurant in Winston-Salem is delicious, especially the fried oysters and the venison osso buco. Yup, it’s top shelf, even by Manhattan standards.

The architecture of the restaurant's space blends well with the old downtown buildings!

I like the lighting and the openness.

The owners are the chefs here, and they are very very good.

This is Daniel; I think that he's the best waiter in the world! The reflections in the window are cool, too.

This is another window reflection view of the Wachovia Building in Winston-salem.

Not far from the Meridian is the West End Opera House. No singing, just pool and darts here.

This building is accross the street. I like it a lot. Don't you think it looks like it belongs in Miami Beach?

Nicole Renaud Performs at “La Lunchonette” on Sunday Evenings

Sunday night we — Me, Mom, Ann, Dora, and Alex- had dinner at La Lunchonette. The food was yummy, and so was Nicole Renaud! Nicole has the voice of an angel, and she plays the accordion really really well too. I guess her French accent is impeccable because she actually is from Paris France.

La Lunchonette is on 10th Ave. at 18th St. in New York. The food is great, and they do serve dinner, too.

It is very near the IAC Building, you know, the one that's supposed to look like a sailing ship with sails.

Nicole has really fun and funky lighting for her instrument.

Sometimes she sits on the bar to sing. It is very informal, like a real French bistro ... I think.

Sometimes I sit on the bar, too ... but alas, I can't sing.

Here are my friends, Ann, Dora, Nicole, and Alex. We had fun! BTW, Dora and Alex are film makers.

Dinner at Joël Robuchon at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York

Carnegie Rocks — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:38:00 +0000

Mom and I had dinner with our friends from Montreal, Joan and Luc, at the Four Seasons. I was happy because it was fun! No cat food here! There was foam in the fois gras (whatever that is), and the profiterole was yummy. The wait staff was really sweet; I wanted to eat them up.

This is me in Joël Robuchon's restaurant; it is very fancy.

Here's my friend Joan with Mom.

The Four Seasons Hotel is way cool because much of it looks sort of like an art gallery.

This is Luc. He is smiling, because today is Joan and Luc's 27th wedding anniversary.

I made some nice new friends in the hotel lobby.

When all is said and done, the Four Seasons Hotel is truly a place that a cat can get a head.

The Halloween Parade in the West Village (New York) was on Saturday, October 31st. It was a warm night, a full moon, and a Saturday!!!! All that made for a great parade. My mom went as a Soupy Sales (1926-2009) mourner. We had a lot of fun!

Mariah was filming her music video “Obsession” and I was walking by The Plaza Hotel. So I just jumped right into the action. This is Mariah’s Rolls Royce. Doesn’t it suit me well?

Mariah Carey and I did a photo shoot for “Obsessed” at The Plaza … yes, it is indeed a limited edition Carnegie Rolls Royce
