No great rush in the morning. BA delivered me sober and rested at JFK in time for a nice dinner out with friends at Daniel Boulud's Bar Boulud, just opposite the Lincoln Centre.
Light, delicious dishes with clever wines; they have 'specials' on wine as well as food. Why don't more restaurants do this? Tonight they had opened magnums of a '98 Côtes Rôtie. Not something you get often by the glass!!!
Lovely. Great night. Steamy outside. Then into taxi and sleep through the electric storm to Stamford, Connecticut. The delightful Chesterfield Hotel is a large clapboard mansion near the beach. Like staying with friends. Incredibly peaceful after New York. A great and welcome sleep.
