Farewell Wine Dinner for Tomoya

Nov 20, 2010

Kato Antoinette held a farewell wine dinner for Tomoya.

This was already empty when DonHon arrived at Antoinette's palace.

いただきまーーーーーーす！！！！！！

Tomoya enjoyed the gift from Don

Don and Hon enjoyed it more than Tomoya did... hahaha

Cabbage and bacon pasta cooked by Queen Antoinette.

Antoinette was talking about love like a little girl.

Doesn't seem like Tomoya was interested...

Finito!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

酒持ってこーーーい！！

This guy just got discharged from the hospital several weeks ago... hopeless...

This girl thinks this is one of the best shots of her.... priceless

Antoinette enjoyed the flavor of a cute young boy :)

HonHon found a fabulous hat at Antoinette's bedroom.

Hon and Antoinette started a stupid photo genic game competing,,,,,,,

"Which look like a better Madam of leisure"



Antoinette tried hard, but she realized she just looked like a quack fotune teller...

$5 Palm Reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Her business was exposed and went bankrupt........

What she could do after was just drinking drinking drinking,

and endlessly talking about her old glory in her actress days before becoming a palm reader.

"Young people may don't know,

but I used to be such a great actress!!!!!"

R-18

Tomoya-----!!!!!!!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

West Village Date

DonHon went shopping to West Village after dropping off a pair of Hon's pants which was hooked & torn so bad that people can actually see Hon's underwear, at an infamous tailor - Hong Kong Tailor Jack.

Feeling Christmassy in front of Ralph Lauren Window

Don on a cute and quiet West Village street

Old couple already got tired after 30 minutes of shopping,

and stopped by Cafe Minerva for a break...

 

Cafe Minerva

304 West 4th Street (between Bank St and 12th St)

New York, NY 10014

(212) 242-4800

DonHon rating

- good quality coffee

- professional barista

- friendly waiters

- inexpensive

- local crowd

 

Don noticed the guy sitting next to Hon was...............

Spiderman (Tobey Maguire)!!!!!!!

Hon commented "He is an actor, but how come he has no aura?"





After coffee break, DonHon moved to the High Line,
the NYC park built on a section of the former elevated freight railroad spur called the West Side Line,
which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan;
it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.

Preserved rail tracks match well with greens :)

Don and Standard Hotel (this place is supposedly so hip now)

sunset view from the High Line

This thing was carefully designed by some artist, and people are supposed to see something

when looking at this object through the small window...

Hon didn't find anything..........  (T_T)

Don didn't see anything, either.....  (;_;)


DonHon wondered what this was for.. only for a couple of seconds...



DonHon's next destination was Chelsea Market
to get some nice wines to bring to the wine dinner at Ms. K's apt.

K Town Night

Since it had been such a looooooooooong time
since Don had Korean Soju, Don one day shouted
"I WANNA DRINK KOREAN SOJU THIS WEEKEND!!".

Following his words, DonHon went to K Town looking for a nice BBQ place
and had nice BBQ at NY Kom Tang Soot Bul Kal Bi

NY KOM TANG SOOT BUL KAL BI

32 West 32nd Street

New York, NY 10001-3818
(212) 947-8482

DonHon rating

- one of the very few places in NYC grilling with coals
- nothing fancy but taste-wise probably about average

- poor ventilation
- waitresses are too busy serving too many customers

Hon thought Don picked this place because there was shorter waiting time,
but it turned out that this was one of the very few (if not the only)
Korean restaurants in NYC
which uses coals for grilling, according to Don.

(This restaurant started their business long time ago,
but not long enough to catch up with DonHon's age... proud and sad.....)

Don looks so happy choosing dishes :)

Good food made DonHon greedy.............

Don "This beef is mine!!!!!!!!!!"

Hon doesn't care how he looks any more...

Don again "This is mine!!!!!!!!!!"

Hon enjoyed after-dinner 25￠ coffee

Drunk couple moved to Third Floor Cafe which actually is
on the 3rd floor of a not fancy building.


Third Floor Cafe

315 5th Ave, 3FL
New York, NY 10016
(212) 481-3669

DonHon rating

- usually gets packed on weekend nights with mostly 20 or 30 somethings
- well-mannered waiters
- just a bar with lots of Koreans and a couple of white guys trying to hook up with Korean girls

Don could feel that the bar was filled with lots of horny (occasionlly good looking) singles...
Nothing interesting for gays (except for hot waiters!!!)....
