Week in Review

Mussles and Micky D’s fries
It’s been a pretty cool week. No celeb sightings yet (which people say is unheard of, being that we live in the hipster-infested Lower East Side, or LES), but this week was sunny, fun and I got to hang out with some cool people.
Monday - Met Molly, Wendy and two [...]

Felix

K & I are heading to Seattle tomorrow, albeit on different flights. I’m going early enough to catch our company’s “Earth Day Lunch” in the Seattle Sculpture Garden, which means waking up at 4:15am to catch a 6:00am flight. The best part about early flights is that I fall almost instantly asleep. The worst part [...]

A Night in the Kitchen

Last night, I spent five hours in a working restaurant kitchen. The experience was interesting and enlightening and I’m glad I got the chance to do it. I hesitate to say which restaurant it was, but suffice to say it is a very well known Spanish tapas restaurant in Chelsea. A friend of Kelly’s knows [...]

Mom and Dad Sale in NYC

Mom and Dad were here for 4 days last weekend. We had a great time with them, and here are some of the highlights:

Dinner and Jazz At Jules Restaurant

Colorado Snow Trip

It is just my luck that the one year I leave Seattle, La Nina kicks in and the Northwest experiences one of the snowiest winters on record. It seems every day in December and January I would pull up the NOAA information for Mt. Baker and be greeted with 25 degree temps and 7″ of [...]

A Shake Shack Kinda Day, or Diesel Is Not Always Innocent

With the in-laws in town (highlights to come), we decided to show Mom and Dad Sale some of our favorite spots.
Enter David. The man that will turn a visit to Shake Shack into an event. He texted me in advance (2 days in advance to be exact) to inform me that he [...]

From Internet to Real Life, or Blog-Stalker

Last Wednesday I met up with Molly, aka Restless Reader, and Laura, aka Queen Bee, ringleader of Oh, Bee-have! for dinner at Lan Cafe, a vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese restaurant in the East Village.

Molly is a former co-worker from Seattle, and although I lost touch with her, it’s been good hanging out with her here. Before [...]

Français

Several weeks ago, I was reading a book at a local coffee shop, Earthmatters, and my ears perked up when I heard two girls speaking French, in what seem to be some sort of tutoring.  Being nosy like I am, of course I went up to them and asked if she was a tutor, and [...]

Weekend Minus Diesel

With Diesel still on his snowboarding trip, I got my last chance to spend some time with friends this week and do whatever I wanted to do. Don’t get me wrong, I miss him, but when he’s not around I get to do stuff that annoys him without being pestered. Things such as [...]
