The Weekender

This weekend, head up to Waltz Astoria for Talk Wine w/ Kevin Rose. Tonight at 8 sample six wines from Argentina, Australia, California, Chile and Spain along with gourmet cheeses and chocolate to compliment the wines. According to the email I got, it's open door but a participation fee may apply. Check the website for a tasting menu.

If wine's not your bag, but you enjoy cheese, head over to the movie theatre to catch Tristan & Isolde. It's based on the Irish myth of a knight in love with the King of Ireland's daughter. Unfortunately he wins her hand in marriage for the King of England. Eek! Talk about putting a crimp in your relationship. Although it sounds familiar it predates Arthurian legend, and is bound to be my favorite kind of romantic movie, cheesy! John's in for a treat huh? hehehe

Afterwards John and I are heading over to Brick Cafe for dinner. I've been dying to try this place ever since I stumbled upon it over a year ago, actually at this point I think it's more like two. Jamie and Antonella have gone there dozens of times and have not been disappointed. We tried to go a few weeks ago, but it was just too crowded. I made reservations this time around. :) Will most definitely let you know how it was. And hopefully John remembers his digital camera so that I can show you how it looks.

And since I am so damned popular, I'll be heading over to Locale, the relatively new bar/lounge on 33rd street and 34th ave for drinks with the gang.

Sunday head over to AMMI. As part of NYC's Paint the Town Red promotion, through February 28th get 2 for 1 admission with promo code NYCPT. Same deal goes for the Noguchi museum, same code too.
AMMI continues it's Fist and Sword Martial Arts Film Classics Series with it's screening of Unleashed at 2:00. Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Hoskins star in this action-packed saga written and produced by Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Professional). Li plays a ruthless assassin who was literally raised in captivity—as a leashed dog—and tries to redeem himself.

Later in the day enjoy the museum's Foreign Affairs: New York Film Critics Circle Series with Naked Lunch at 4:00 and The Man Who Fell to Earth at 6:30. Check the website for all the details.

That's all folks!
