Birthday Boy, Brunch and a Book


Today is my husband's birthday. Yesterday, we celebrated with brunch at Terroir in Tribeca, which involved mimosas, a breakfast sandwich, French toast and two life-changing cider-glazed doughnuts. Seriously, New York Magazine named them the year's best and they weren't lying. The weather was a little cold, but it was beautiful and sunny out, so we walked all over lower Manhattan. His present? An edition of his favorite book, Huckleberry Finn -- perfect for me to display and him to read. Happy Birthday, Jonah!
