New York Winter 2013 Restaurant Week [Ai Fiori]

Third Stop: Ai Fiori. I just adore the name of this restaurant. Translated into Italian, it reads 'among the flowers'. This restaurant is located inside the beautiful Langham Place hotel on 5th Ave. Stepping into this hotel was reminiscent of the one in Hong Kong which my mom and I stayed in during our vacation a few years ago.

It snowed heavily while we were dining and it such so romantic watching the snow silently and gently fall. I wish Joe was with me then! <3
