New York, New York - so good they named it twice.

At Freeman's Restaurant on the Lower East Side, Manhattan on 24th July at Midnight Danny asks me to marry him. It's a very special evening and emotions were running high. The proposal came naturally, no forward planning and was absolutely perfect. I, of course, accepted and we have been suitably pleased with ourselves ever since!

and Debra, his wife to be.


Cheers!


Dan looking a tad nervous prior to the champagne kicking in!


I think this is my favourite shop from now on.




Other pics from New York...


Dan at Bronx Zoo - above or below, you decide...



Deb with the culprit at Red Lobster prior to a soaking!

Continuing with Dan's quest for the perfect lobster, we went to Red Lobster in Time Square on my Birthday (how does that work?)...

Anyway, not the best evening. You get Budweiser in frosted glasses at RL, nice touch you'd think but not when the bottom of the glass falls out and you get drenched with a pint of the King of Beers! New top soaked, looked like I'd had an accident (wet bum) and bag not looking too good either. Worst of all though was the camera got a soaking too. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked right since and Dan is in a continuing dialogue with Red Lobster to resolve the situation. Looks like we might eventually get a new camera with Dan's persistence and we did get a $120+ meal for nowt - could have done without the inconvenience though but fortunately the pictures we'd taken are safe.


We agree, NYC rocks!
