I'm in a New York state of mind...

This weekend was so much fun!! I can't believe how much stuff we did. On Friday night, we met up with some sorority sisters and went to two different bars with them. I was a much bigger fan of the second one, Ginger Man's. It had a really cool, neighborhood pub vibe.

Then, Saturday morning, we got up and went down to Union Square to do some grocery shopping at Trader Joes. Can we pause for a minute and bask in the greatness of Trader Joes? Cheap and GREAT!! ... and long lines. Anyways, so we got out of the subway at Union Square, and noticed that there was a farmers market looking thing in the little park that's there. We walked around there for a bit and mainly looked at all the cool art- and there also seemed to be a lot of apples and apple cider- so we also got some free sniffs in- oh man the cider smelled so great! We then went to Trader Joes to get the groceries for the week.

After our trip to Trader Joes, we went down to Herald Square because we needed to go to Kmart. I forgot that that's where Macy's is... not just any Macy's... but THE Macy's. It was pretty awesome- there was also a huge line of people lined up around the store- I have no idea why. We think it was a makeup sale or something...

Then we met up with Kenny, a guy Amanda works with, and went ice skating at Bryant Park! It was pretty surreal- and so beautiful to be able to skate in the middle of the city like that. It was... beautiful and so much fun.

Once our faces were just about frozen off, we decided to head back home. We went to Grand Central to catch the subway and ran into a squash tournament! It was like some international, really big deal thing in the middle of Grand Central Station. Anyways, after that, we went home.

So yesterday was pretty packed, but today was a lot more relaxed, but no less amazing. We went to Carnegie Hall for a performance from the Met orchestra. There was a mezzo-soprano whose voice was... beautiful. The whole thing was just so beautiful and amazing- Amanda and I had so much fun.

Oh ya, and when we got home, we had a dance party to Elton John. Hold me closer tiny dancer...
