Where is the conference and where will you be staying? How far are you willing to travel for food?
Conference is at the Westin in Times Square and we are staying at the Strand Hotel on 37th at 6th Ave.
Definitely willing to travel out of that area.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

What I need to hit up Jules for is a good rec for an Aetna GP. Between these stupid ear infections, my apparent kinda high BP (which is really ironic because whenever I managed to try out a new GP, it was low, and that was when I was 50 lbs heavier and not exercising) and well, tonight's freaky, I need to get one. One that won't retire, leave town, move out of the practice into one that doesn't do my insurance, die... I have shit luck with GPs.

Because books.
I felt fine otherwise, just had a blind spot then a need to barf. Scared the shit out of me.
They're scary, and I usually only get the weird floaters. It's awesome you have someone to call like that.
Where should I eat??

I'm not crazy about mine that I've had for ages. Bob's old one (who is at my one's practice) was awesome but he's retired. She got me in to see her GP last year when I was having some weird heart things going on (anxiety palpitations it turns out!) but now I'm not sure of the etiquette! Is he now my regular doctor? I don't know! Anyway, you should ask her for a rec.

Artisanal!
ooh! good one!! That's the one you all recommended I get the gift card to for our vegetarian officiant! She was mighty pleased with it.

Given that the magic drug is pricey, is it worth it to take it next week if she's not up to the right level, or should she rest more and take better care of herself and push chemo back another week--is that bad?
Neulasta is not entirely benign, so she might want try a second week if her white count is going up. I don't know how aggressive her oncologist is. She does need to stay away from sick people.

Thanks for stopping by, Monique, and I hope you're recovering well yourself.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't been in a while, but inoteca used to be one of my favorites.
Closer to you is Eataly which is worth a trip if you can get away for lunch (or gelato).
Pipa has good tapas, not cheap, but fun.
If you really want to splurge, head for Prune. Or the bar at Grammercy Tavern.
More in Midtown - Nizza, Croton Reservoir Tavern, and Eatery (try the mac & cheese!).
Out in my neck of the woods, Purple Yam is my current favorite restaurant in the city. There is nothing on that menu that is not made from pure unfiltered awesomesauce, but it is about an hour on the subway from your hotel.

You all are making me hungry. I am not in New York. It is not fair.
