Heading to the Ritz

Today I head to Washington DC to visit a Ritz Carlton, plans made months ago. This Ritz is supposed to be a gem. It was once an incinerator plant and now is a highly rated hotel with accolades galore. I have never been to Washington as strange as that seems and a day at the Smithsonian is on my list. Perhaps a massage thrown in will clear away my China fog.

Lunch at BLT in the NYC Ritz Carlton and meeting Allison Sitch

It is a return to NYC today for a lunch meeting with Allison Sitch, the Senior VP Corporate PR Director for Ritz Carlton. I have always been a fan of their properties and a stay in a Ritz is a special event. Lunch will be in the BLT Restaurant in the mid-town hotel. Chef Laurent Tourondel has built quite a reputation, I have heard much about the great food. As a hotel fanatic I look forward to hear what is new in Ritz Carlton's future, great food aside.
