After the long walk, we called up our other colleagues and were set to meet them for dinner but Art got the name of the place wrong but it was a blessing in disguise as we came to discover Ben's Chili Bowl, considered a Washington landmark and is known for the chili dogs, half smokes and milk shakes.

What's staying in DC without eating at Five Guys? Good thing was that there was one just across our hotel. So on the last day of the convention, that was the place to be. The burger was huge, with all the toppings and lots of fries. Truly heaven on a bun!

Dr Art's thumbs up for his burger
Dr Vic having his fill
Dr Sig all smiles before digging in
After the AUA Annual Convention, my fellow Davao Urologist, NKTI batchmate Vic and I went to New Jersey to meet up with his old Ateneo high school batchmates , Monet and Aena Fuentes who were our gracious hosts. Co-incindentally, a batchmate of mine also from Ateneo, Atty Jong was also going to spend a few days with us.
We went to walk around the Manhattan area and Times Square. After the long walk we decided to have pizza and Monet brought us to Ray's Pizza which was considered a pizza landmark in New York.
After the pizza, we went for drinks at 230-Fifth Rooftop bar. It had an awesome view of the Empire State Building at the back.
The following day, after seeing Ground Zero, we headed for a heavy lunch...yes heavy indeed:
On our last night, Vic and Jong were craving for Filipino food, hence we ordered crispy pata, sisig and batchoy for take out from Fiesta Grill.
The summer of 2011 was one for the books...meeting up with former co-fellows for an international convention, catching up with old friends and most especially experiencing the food...
