New York City - the greatest City in the WORLD! Or at least, that is what my Uber driver Vlad told me as we came out of the Queens Midtown Tunnel. I've heard so many people say this, and yes, I do love New York City - but even just a quick 3 day vacation there left me exhausted. I was there to visit my best friend, Bekka, who has lived there for about 4 or 5 years. Every time I visit we have plans that usually include:Seriously - look at that spread. The waitress didn't find out "Where is our 3rd friend?" joke as much as we did... To liven the mood a bit we took a walk around Battery Park and attempted to take some photos of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty. That bitch is hard to get a photo of when you're so far away. The weather, however, was beautiful and we ended the day by doing a bit of shopping, grabbing a few beers at The Globe, and then eating delicious fresh pasta at Cacio de Pepe near the Ukrainian Village. Saturday wrapped up with pizza and beer at Luzzo's Pizza minus the beer because they were "Working on getting their license back". Insert awkward face here. We rounded out our Brooklyn trip by people watching at the Pier and eating some much needed ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory (get the chocolate chunk - nom!). My trip ended 60,000 steps higher and so carb loaded I feel like I should be eating kale and green juice for a week straight. However, we got to laugh a little too hard, drink & eat a little too much, and spend some quality time together which was what the trip was really about.

Welcome to Sunday Funday, folks. This weekend was eventful and HOT. Right on schedule the Midwest is experiencing what they call a "heat dome" that is causing ridiculous temperatures, heat indexes, and humidity. We wanted to stay inside almost all weekend so what better way to do so than have it focused on food and fun ('fun' = drinking)? |
