Was my belated birthday supper tonight and we went to Rubywatchco. https://rubywatchco.ca/ It was amazing! Only one four course menu option per night, local food fixed price - check the website for tonights menu. I was really great and the chef, Lynn Crawford is the chef and has had a couple of shows here in Canada on the Food Network. I am a very happy guy.
 
Nice! Hope you continue to enjoy your belated birthday.....in my family, we're famous for dragging them on and on. :laugh:
I've been to the Four Seasons NY, but that was ages ago. Fancy place.

As we continue to celebrate Lin's "milestone" birthday, we've hit a few nice places too. Earlier in the week, the kids took us out to "Salt": a local pub that's sort of a hole-in-the-wall, but has high ratings by the NY Times and The Wall Street Journal. The food is great and they always have live music. Steve Forbert played there a few weeks ago and Harry Chapin is a semi-regular. The owner used to be a local teacher....my older daughter had him for a class. We're going to a different place tonight with work friends as we continue to celebrate.

Nice! all the more impressive that they have Harry Chapin as a semi regular. Hasn't he been dead for 20 years?

Longer then that...July 16, 1981...Had cardiac arrest here on the Long Island Expressway on his way to perform at a free concert. He was 38.

Must be the other Harry Chapin... :whistle:

BTW, great beer selection at Salt gastro pub. :thirsty:

Haha. We have *secrets* in NJ that we don't share with others! :jester:

OK, honestly, I'm not only mixing up singers but also places. I was thinking of <span style="text-decoration: underline">Tom</span> Chapin, but also at another place we go.
Actually David Johansen is the semi-regular at Salt.

My excuse is that I was testing all those various beers. :laugh:

No worries, I googled it and looks like Elvis is appearing soon as well. There ARE *secrets* in NJ.

martx5, harry's death was the result of a piece of glass that entered his heart during a car crash.

Never heard that before. The accounts generally go like this...

"He was in the left hand fast lane, at about 65 miles an hour, and then for an unknown reason, either because of engine failure or some physical problem (thought to be a possible heart attack) put on his emergency flashers near Exit 40 in Jericho, NY. He then slowed to about 15 miles an hour and veered into the center lane nearly colliding with another car at that point. He swerved back left, then back right again and this time went directly in front of a tractor-trailer truck owned by Supermarkets General. The truck could not brake in time and rammed the rear of Harry's blue 1975 VW Rabbit, rupturing the gas tank and causing it to burst into flames."

There is no doubt that those events did happen. So, was it a car problem or a physical problem??? Sounds to me like he was having a tough time driving. Either way, if a piece of glass entered his heart, that is something that I have never read about. Everything I've read said he died of cardiac arrest...before or after the accident isn't a certainty.
