I’ve written in the past about trips I’ve done down the West coast (for example here and here). Combining food and kink (although not necessarily at the same time) is my idea of a great vacation. It has always been a goal to replicate the idea on the East coast, and I’m happy to say that at the end of this month I’m finally getting chance to do so. I’ll be spending a week in Manhattan, doing a little shopping, a lot of fine dining and interspersing them both with some deviant kinky behavior.
The main problem planning this kind of trip is a surfeit of choice. There are just so many great dommes in the NYC area. However, there is one domme that I’ve heard so many good things about that it ultimately made my decision an easy one – Miss Troy Orleans. Fortunately she had time available on her calendar for me, and I’m looking forward to two separate sessions with her. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun together.
Ironically scheduling time with professional sadists turns out to be a far more pleasant process than scheduling time with organizations designed to pamper and indulge their guests. And by that I’m talking about NYC restaurants. Most of them make the DMV look like a role model for easy and efficient service. Fortunately, after a lot of listening to call waiting muzac and some mad-ninja open table skills, I snagged reservations at (amongst others) Le Bernardin, Per Se, Eleven Madison Park, Kyo Ya and WD-50. I look forward to blogging in a few weeks about how it all works out.

Love the photo, especially in black and white.
It seems to be drawing the viewer in
to all shades of expression.
Glad you liked it Ricky. It’s not strictly femdom, but I thought it was a beautiful elegant image. Cityscapes in black and white are often very compelling shots IMO.

WHEEEEE! Welcome to the Big Apple, paltego!
I never met Mr. Orleans, but everything I hear about her is positive. You can tell just from her writing that she is a class act!
ENJOY PER SE! I’ve been there twice. It was a three-hour dining experience. Phenomenal. Yum yum I wish I was there now!
Let me know if you’d like to meet! My new semester starts at the end of the month, so I don’t know how crazy work will be…but if you’re so inclined , we can grab lunch or something. I’m in Manhattan. Email me if you like.
I could probably also give you a tour of the Superstudio…it really is worth visiting. Feels like a movie set. You wouldn’t have to do a session, I’d just take you around as a buddy.
If I don’t see you…ENJOY NYC and blog blog blog!

P.S. It’s totally worth it to do the tourist thing and go up to the top of the Empire State Building on a clear day. The view is really phenomenal.
Thanks Margo,
I’ve been a few times before, but not in the last 3 or so years. And I’ve never had chance to fly my freak flag there. So I’m looking forward to that. Per Se has been top of my restaurant ‘to do’ list for a while, so I’m very glad I managed to get in there. I’ve been to some of the other places I’m going before, but Per Se will be a new one to me.
It’d be fun to meet up for lunch. Let me ping you via email. I still trying to sort out my exact schedule. I’ve got some friends overlapping their trip with mine, so I need to figure out exactly what they’re doing. But I’m sure I can carve out a lunch slot.
Speak to you soon,

As someone who considers Miss Orleans a friend, I could not agree with your choice more strongly. She is a class act, a brilliant intellect, and a very gifted domme. Have fun!
Thanks Aarkey. It was hearing positive things from people like yourself that originally pointed me in Miss Orleans direction. I’m looking forward to seeing how our time together unfolds.
