Here's what I did/saw on my weekend. 12/2/06 was to to bottom one of the strongest UM shows that I've ever seen. It's top 3 for sure.

NYC was fun, more relaxed than our prior trips. Our visit to the Audi Forum was an easy high light. The guy was awesome, and actually said "what, are you scared" as he encouraged us to get into a fully loaded A8. It was awesome.

The Brooklyn Brewery tour was lack luster. It was a one room lecture, and they didn't include any free samples. There was a tasting room with $3.00 cups and a lot of locals. The high point of our visit was meeting the brewery cat, Monster.

Fortunately, we also visited Mugs Ale house, a well rated beer bar, and enjoyed some Belgian brews.

The eating was good as well. We hit a multi unit Thai restaurant on 9th ave, in the 40s for dinner on Friday and an excellent Italian place (Pasta Presto??)e with a nice, inexpensive 3 course prix fixe on second in the fifties.
