Cloud 9 (no, I didn't win the lottery...)



We do love the view from the Empire Landmark Cloud 9 revolving restaurant. The only problem is the food is up and down although the prices are always up! I recently became aware that they had a bar area or perhaps I had forgotten it so we tried that last night. We were delighted with it. Very comfy armchairs and the "tapas" are all priced at $7 and were excellent. We had two types of wings, sweet chili and honey garlic, prawn cocktail, and dry ribs. It made for an excellent dinner. The dry ribs were the star of the show...a bit of a spicy bite to them and served with a tasty sauce plus were sprinkled with coarse sea salt and peppercorns....wonderful!

And then we came home and had an evening swim...the first so far since we haven't had many balmy nights. It was great to swim watching the sun go down. Water continues to be very warm.
