Awesome night with our friends D, B and J tonight.  Love where we are staying at the Cooper Square Hotel in Noho/the East Village.  Had a slice of pizza at Bleeker Street Pizza, then a round of Veuve at the Standard NYC, then a couple of beers and an excellent bottle of wine at B&J's Chelsea pad.  Blogging at 2:07 a.m. local time because it is only 11:07 our time and our east coast friends have gone to bed.  Beautiful night.  A few stars are visible in the city.
