three of my good friends from school are in new york until monday! i tried meeting up with them after my bosses bday but after an hour and 45 minutes of waiting for subways, walking, taking cabs, and dead cell phones, i opted to simply meet them for brunch in the morning.
i met them + tyler at Pastis the next morning in meetpacking and enjoyed a lovely brunch of corn soup, yummy bread, and a few bites of BGs french toast :) it was so fun talking about things going on back in cs and getting to tell them about nyc!
we walked down to chelsea markets after brunch and spotted a bunch of moustaches! pictures soon ensued.
chelsea markets is seriously such an incredible place to shop, eat, or just walk around. the space itself is finished out so incredible. and all the stores and restaurants are very unique -- always something cool to find!
brittany has a cousin that lives here in the city and he suggested we all meet up for dinner. we met up with him later that night at the Blue Fin in the W hotel in times square. the appetizers, entrees, sushi rolls, drinks, breads and desserts just kept coming! we had so much fun getting to know brittanys cousin, shaun, and definitely had a few laughs with our waiter, Mark (far left). the Blue Fin definitely served me the best food ive had since ive been in the city -- salmon and sushi? yes, please!
we ordered three large desserts and rotated every minute or two so everybody could have a bite. looking back we should have just ordered three of the smores because they were THE best. definitely taking big sissy there when she comes in...its a perfect spot to get dessert after a broadway!
the crew had already bought tickets for rock of ages and i decided to see if they were sold out yet -- 30 seconds before the show started i ran into the theater, grabbed my seat (four rows back, dead center!), and enjoyed the show. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! its basically an 80s sing-a-long...and it definitely made me miss my roomys considering we occasionally jam out to Journey before a big night (okay, so its from the Glee soundtrack). but seriously, for the rest of the night you'd catch one of the six of us dancing or singing some pat benatar.
from there, the great host himself, shaun, took us to some fun restaurants and bars in the west village -- including tortilla flats! which has been on my to-do list since i heard about it. chips and queso, woohoo!
i cant tell you what a fun night this was! next to having my family here it was probably my favorite night in nyc so far. thanks to shaun for being such an incredible host to five poor college kids trying to leave the dream in the big apple...you made our year!
