Dining along the Hudson

Lucy and I met a couple of Fridays ago for dinner after work.  We decided to go to Locanda Verde, one of Robert DeNiro's restaurants in Tribeca.  Lucy had been hearing great things about it.  We enjoyed it, but weren't super impressed - especially not for the price we paid for our meal!  We decided to split a few things.  The best part was the Sheep's Milk Ricotta appetizer.  It was like a creamy spread served with bread and it was soooo good.  We also tried their asparagus that was served with a fried egg on top, a pasta that had duck in it, and a lemon tart to finish it all off.  It was all good, but again, not great.

Afterwards, we walked over to the Hudson, which was just a block away and walked along the boardwalk all the way to West Village.  It was a hot night, but along the water it was pleasant and such pretty views!  Once we got to the West Village area, we stopped off at The Jane to grab a drink in the incredible hotel lobby - love this place!  I had seen the lobby before while brunching there at Cafe Gitane, but is wasn't open at that time of morning.  It's a gorgeous space and I wanted to go back and knew Lucy needed to see it as well.  We had so much fun chatting, taking in all the cool decor of the space, and sipping our Prosecco.
