Slept in. Happened upon a cool candy store called Economy Candy. Lunch at 'inoteca (212-614-0473, 98 Rivington Street at Ludlow) with Brian and Kelly: we shared: salad of beets, oranges, pecorino, mint & hazelnuts ($12); panini of smoked mozzarella, grilled zucchini & peperonata ($11); panini of prosciutto, mozzarella, basil pesto & pickled red onion ($11); mozzarella in carrozza ($10). Kelly went to work. Brian and I walked to (I think) Spring Street Station and took subway train 6 to 86th Street Station. We walked to the Guggenheim Museum and realized when we arrived that it was closed today. We walked to and visited Neue Galerie which held German and Austrian art, including works by Gustav Klimt. We ate in Cafe Sabarsky: sachertorte and espresso mocha for Brian, chocolate and cherry torte and iced tea for me. We split, and I returned to the hotel. Dinner at Wolfnights: Teen Wolf (falafel wrapped in a fig and pomegranate wrap: pickled red onion, grilled scallions, toasted sunflower seed, pickles, sesame sauce), water. Barhopped in East Village: Easternbloc where at an event called "My Chiffon is Wet" DJ Paisley Dalton spun diva tunes most of which I had not heard before and where I had a Blue Moon and met Ruby Roo. Then I visited The Boiler Room but did not stay long. The Cock was charging a $5 cover, and I was already resigned to end my night so I did not enter. Back to the hotel. To bed late.
