I hope your kids don''t get freaked out by the number of sarcophagi and mummies.

Do you like Japanese food? There''s a restaurant called ''Sugiyama'' that is near the theatre district. It serves kaiseki, which is a full-blown Japanese set meal (the pre-theatre version is scaled down). Warning -- $$$. There''s also a BBQ restaurant called ''Virgil''s'' right in Time Square. Superb mac and cheese and cornbread.


You asked for sweets and sweets you shall receive:

La Maison du Chocolat.

Buttercup Bake Shop.

Crumbs.

Max Brenner.

Lady M.

Payard''s Patisserie.

Love Japanese food so I will definitely check out Sugiyama. Perhaps the pre-theatre dinner won''t break the bank! Virgil''s sounds interesting, too, and my daughter is a big mac and cheese fan so it might be very popular. Can''t wait to try out the sweet shops! I will definitely be searching those out.

Do you have any thoughts about where we might see some purty antique cushions? I know that Singlestone and JBEG are great but we''re on the wrong coast. I''m guessing there are some potential sources in NYC?

Congrats, btw, on your 10,000 posts-pretty cool.

Here''s Sugiyama''s menu: http://www.sugiyama-nyc.com/11701.html I forgot one chocolate shop -- Pierre Marcolini. It''s one of the two best in town, IMHO.

Yes, I do. May I tag along?

Thanks! Look forward to meeting you.
 
I''m counting on it and looking forward to meeting you, too. I''m smiling just thinking about it!

Thanks for the menu, that is exactly what I was going to search for. BTW, I told the kids that we are going to check out some specialty sweet shops "recommended by an expert"-they are thrilled.

Hey, I''ll be right there with them. It''s my duty, right?
 
You would be a bad mum otherwise.

Hi sweetcakes!

Hi poppet, how was the trip home?
 
How are you Miss Harriet?

Hiya!

Aside from my second battle with the bug, I''m well. i''ve just returned from Tucson. I was lucky and snagged a guest pass to the big shows. But, I didn''t have buying privileges. It was still a treat.

How are things with you? No more chimping, I hope?
 
Oh no! I hope you get better fast! My oldest and the chimper have been busy with a bug. DD hates having a cough so shes been a jolly ray of sunshine.

Ah well, she was home from school yesterday which enabled me to have some PS time and sign up for FB at my sister''s request. I did do a bit of sleuthing...

Ooooohhhh....Tucson! My uncle is in the trade and went to the show! I''m going to try and go with him next year. I''d love to hear about your adventure into the land of gems!
 
Thanks. I hope your little rascals get over it. Soon. Miranda the Spy!

Let''s both go next year. Here are my impressions of this year''s AGTA and GJX shows:
- Business was dismal. I felt so sorry for the dealers.
- It was African Paraiba galore. I find it hard to believe that the material is as rare as claimed. I saw a few pieces of the original Brazilian material. There''s no comparison. I suspect I''ll be waiting a loooooooong time for a Paraiba.
- I''ve never seen so much emerald in my life.
- There were very few top tsavorites.
- There were very few top spinels in the red and red-pink range.
- I''m in love with the green demantoids.

I gasped when I heard of all of the emerald material. Oh how I love emeralds. It''s a shame they are so soft. sounds like an interesting trip. Yes, let''s go next year.

Apparently, the amount of emerald is not a surprise.
 
Did your dealer have buying privileges? At least you got to go. I was flying in from the east coast of the day of the big show.

Sorry to hear you are sick again. Do you think you caught something on the plane?

Few tsavorites and spinals? That makes me sad.
 
He did, but he was booth-bound. Are you back home now?
Thanks. I had round two a couple of days before I left, and almost didn''t go!
I know, I know.

Yes, I came home on the day of the big show. That is why I didn''t bother trying to come. I knew it would be too much. I am so happy to be home now, although I had a ton of cleaning to do.

I hope you are feeling better now.

Remember the two Leon rings I showed you? I was so busy looking at them, I didn''t realize your spinal was in between! At least I think it is yours.
 
Harriet.....hope you can kick this nasty bug soon!

It would have been too much. Talk about visual overload. In fact, I sat out the second day and slept by the hotel pool. Mmm. I wish we''d met, though.

I am, thanks.

I think it is mine.

Thanks, Sparkles. It''s gone, I think.
 
I really enjoyed our phone chat yesterday Harriet. When is next year''s show?
 
As did I, Beth dear. It''s been too long since I visited you down under. The show should be in early Feb.

marcy,
I really hope you kick yours soon. It''s been too long. Did your doctor suggest seeing a pulmonologist?

Thanks Harriet. The doctor wasn''t much help other than giving me a few drugs to get better. I do feel better.

Marcy,
I''m glad you feel better. I''m still thinking of a gem game for us to play.
