Cafe Borgia gave us enough energy to shop around SoHo a little bit before meeting up with Julie, Jeannette, Yvan, Kody, Eleanor, Dan, Masako, and Vivian for dinner at Esperanto, a Brazilian and Cuban restaurant. I was so tired and hungry I probably could have eaten anything. The Caipirinhas were really good with a whole lime in each one… and the Moqueca tasted awesome.. of course I’m a sucker for anything with coconut milk.

After dinner we went over to The Porch for a drink. My allergies were super bad on the trip though and I started having a sneezing attack with a runny, itchy nose to match. I’m sure it was really attractive! We only stayed for one drink or two.

Last month I read about hot pot on Jen’s and Tien’s sites. It seemed really interesting and afterward I became infatuated with trying it myself. Last night we got together at Wu Liang Ye and had hot pot. It was really fun. Basically you get a pot full of boiling broth and plates of raw meat, seafood, vegetables and noodles. You then take the meats and veggies and things and put them in the hot broth and it cooks. When it looks done you fish it out with a small mesh basket or with your chopsticks. We got 2 pots because we had 11 people and each of our pots were divided in half: one half was really hot (spicy) and one was more mild. The shrimp and scallops were my favorite. Afterwards we went to Junior’s for cheesecake.
