It was just a 2-day whirlwind trip for business, but Locke and I managed to hunt down some pretty amazing food between meetings. We both had a must-eat list, but otherwise we decided to wing it and see where our endless walks through the city took us. I was up for anything, but insisted we make an inaugural visit to Rudy's Bar since it's just plain embarrassing to think we were the only two people on the planet who hadn't been there. Locke is a devotee of Momofuku Noodle Bar in the Village and was willing to risk life and limb to take me there. Persistence on both our parts paid off, as we revisited familiar haunts and discovered new obsessions.
