2010 - Day 178

I did a whole lot of nothing after spending all day Friday and Saturday going places nonstop. I saw this whole display of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" and I thought it was great because it reminded me that my mom bought me for my Graduation.

2010 - Day 177

Unfortunately today was it for the United States in the World Cup. However it stop us from enjoying watching the game at a bar. On our way to Atlantic Avenue we ran into this amazing window display at the liquor store down the street.

2010 - Day 176

Marc and Angela are in town visiting this weekend. I know Angela from teaching and the two of them lived here for 5 years, but have recently relocated to Des Moines. We went to La Palapa for an authentic Mexican City meal with a margarita for dinner.

2010 - Day 175

Karen and I hadn't seen each other for awhile so we meet up to have sangria at La Zarza, my new favorite tapas place in the East Village. We celebrated Karen getting a promotion at work. Then we went to another place and played Guess Who and Connect Four.

2010 - Day 174

After kickball today, Akeli and I went up to 108th and Amsterdam to have a beer with Sara. One of the owners was a Wisconsin alum and I had a great chat about Madison with one of the bartenders. It is a small world sometimes.

2010 - Day 173

Breakfast of champions! Edlyne was craving Magnolia's cupcakes and wanted to walk to Rockefeller Center yesterday to get them. I vetoed that because I am not going to be a tourist on a Monday night with someone who has lived here. However, I suggested that we get iced coffee and mini cupcakes for breakfast this morning and it was amazing. Besides Crumbs is better than Magnolias anyway.

2010 - Day 172

In a flashback to three years ago I met up with Kristine, Katie and Edlyne for a little reunion happy hour at one of our favorite happy hour locations. Angela will be in New York on Friday as well, so it is a whole week of reunions. Angela is on the phone in this picture, so she was basically there as well. Edlyne sent me a text "Let's just meet at that margarita place." I thought that was cryptic for about a minute until I realized exactly where she meant. Wonderful margaritas and happy hour until 7 PM. Back in the day, we couldn't wait until it was 4 PM and happy hour began. Being at a bar at 3:30 PM, that is a thing of the past. I'm so glad that I had a chance to work with these wonderful people.
