Koi, New York (Sept. 1, 2011)

So, my companion for the evening, one Amy K. Nelson (also known as AK-47 for the destruction she has been known to leave in her wake) says to me, "It is a bit embarrassing to be in New York and have dinner at a chain."

I respect that, and I wouldn't have run afoul of such an immutable law had I *known* Koi, located in the Bryant Hotel in Bryant Park *was* a chain. One demerit for the foodie...I would try to plead this down, but ignorance is no defense against lawbreaking....
