A BBQ with a View

On Saturday we were invite to attend one of Pat's ex-coworker's BBQ. We thought we knew what to expect because we have been to several BBQ's here in the city. Usually they are on someone's 5th story roof top, the seating is limited if there is any seating, you have to be extra careful because it feels as though certain spots of the roof might cave in, and the food is subpar at its best.

However, when we arrived at the destination where the BBQ was being held, we knew we were in for no-ordinary-BBQ when we walked into the sky rise building's lobby and there was a three story high waterfall, this building was luxury at it's finest.

We then enjoyed a relaxing evening, appreciating the fast approaching Fall weather, as we sat in the buildings court yard. The court yard was spacious (such an anomaly in the city) with plenty of comfortable patio seating, trees, grass, and a beautiful view of the surrounding Midtown buildings. Then. came. the. food. All the food from the salad to even the water was totally gourmet and tasted fantastic. It was an intimate gathering and we felt privilege to be invited and to get to know the other guests. 

After we finished dinner we headed up to the roof top, where the view rivaled the Empire State buildings view. It could even be argued that it was better since the we had a magnificent view of the Empire State Building. We enjoyed the rest of the night feeding of the energy of the surrounding city of Manhattan as the twinkling city lights once again reminded us how lucky we are to live here.
