Visit to New York City (and Is-Wine?)

[mrdutton]

We were last in NYC this past August to see some shows and visit with friends from the Bronx.

We did not get a chance to visit Is-Wine even though we were staying mid-town kinda on the west side (right next door to Grand Central Station) at the Roosevelt Hotel (try it, it is a neat place to stay).

We did however utilize the services of Is-Wine. We had a half-case of sparkling Italian wine delivered to the hotel for our pleasure.

Foodie was not in town at that time, but we still would have liked to visit the store. However that may be, their response to our request for the wine and its delivery was handled smartly. We got the wine quickly and we enjoyed our brief contact, by phone, with the store's staff. Oh and the wine was good too!

We also used some advice from Foodie concerning a restaurant for dinner. The place was charming and the food was tremendous! We had drinks at the bar before we were seated at our table, wine by the glass with the meal and after-dinner drinks with dessert and walked out of the place slightly less than $100.00 poorer (and this included the tip). We would go back there again, thats for sure. Name: Pierre Au Tunnel, on 47th Street in the theatre district a couple of blocks east of B'Way.

Can't wait to visit NYC again and actually get downtown to the store to visit and shop.

Oh, by the way, F train would have been my choice also.
