My dear friend Lelah visits far too infrequently. It’s been almost two years since we last saw her, so we had a lot to discuss last night. I can think of no better venue for good wine and fine conversation than my favorite – Soizic! (Am I too predictable?) It just so happens that Lelah has a favorite restaurant or two of her own, so over a great meal in Oakland we agreed that it’s about time we have dinner in one of her favorite restaurants in New York! Sounds like a plan!

Lelah spending time with you is always wonderful. (As usual, our waiter had to throw us out of the restaurant.) We can’t wait to see you again in New York this fall.
