I had a lovely dinner last night with my friend The Minx (who's newest blog project is All Top Chef), the delightful Laura K (from Blogging Bravo and Blogging Project Runway), and Laura K's fabulous friend Roz. Since we all wanted to catch up, no one answered their phones during dinner (which was at Mario Batali's excellent pizza place - Otto). So it wasn't until we had separated and I returned my roommate's missed call that I found out about Michael Jackson's death. Holy Crap - I still can hardly believe it.
In a way, I'm glad we didn't find out during dinner - the sad news would have really dampened a wonderful evening. Otto is a nice place - it's reasonably priced and just steps away from Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. Otto specializes in antipasti, small-plate pastas, and delicious thin-crust pizzas! Here are the four pizzas we ordered (and shared)...

Laura K. ordered Four-Cheese...
I can't remember what this one was called, but Roz gave me the slice with the prosciutto on it (delish!)...
The Minx ordered Mushrooms and Taleggio cheese...
Finally, I ordered the asparagus and goat cheese...
After dinner The Minx and I took the subway uptown, and we passed Parsons - where Project Runway is currently filming. There was even a VERY PR-ish white van parked out front...
But, alas, there was no Tim Gunn sighting...
