Rats and American Food

This morning I saw a GIANT rat outside of my hotel.

Now the place i am staying at, is no classy establishment ... but this RAT was huge.


As i said ... HUGE.

I don't know what a giant inflatable rat is doing outside the hotel ... but it is what it is.

I finally started doing some work today - still a battle to get an ID pass as well as logins for all the servers ... but slowly, we are getting there.

Dinner was interesting. I have spent the last few days recovering from Jet Lag and tonight was the first night that I managed to go out and grab a bite to eat. I met some of my colleagues down on Wall Street at an establishment called Nobu.

There were two items on the menu that I took note of.

This first item is called the Wall Street Sushi.


Notice the gold leaf on top. How decadent...

The second item was actually my idea of what American food was going to be like. It was a dessert item.


I think it's pretty easy to tell that it is deep fried. It's actually a tempura battered cheesecake as recommended by our waitress. 

We ordered one between five of us ... and it was more than enough. She thought that maybe we would need a few more.

So ... first dining experience in New York of this trip ... pricey ... oily ... and a little bit excessive. totally NOT what i was expecting ...
