Best Day Ever!

Sorry I haven't written in a couple of weeks. My computer was sick and I was also really busy.

Last weekend was in Grand Rapids to celebrate my friends Adam and Elissa's wedding. It was beautiful and it was nice to see some friends whom I miss.

This week has been action packed as well. Tuesday was the launch of the new Menswear Suiting Floor at the Harold Square Macy's. Thursday Esther and I saw Mary Tyler Moore at the Paley Center for Arts. She was part of a lecture series on women in TV. Friday my dear friend Dave came into town and we bummed around the village and SoHo. Later we went to see Legally Blonde on Broadway which was very cute and cleaver.

Okay now for the best day ever. Yesterday (Saturday) I meet up with Dave (I know Dave. That already makes it the best day ever the rest of this story is just a big bonus) That morning we fit in a street fair, the Time Warner Building (which is a shopping center at Columbus Circle), Central Park, shopping down 5th and Madison Avenue...yes it was a busy morning. Then in the afternoon we met up with Mel and Michelle who were two of my high school teachers. It was so fun to see them again. Then we did some more shopping in Midtown, Chelsea, and the Meatpacking District. Then we went to see Cyrano De Bercerac stating Kevin Kline, Jennifer Garner, Daniel Sunjata, and Chris Sarandon. It was amazing, even with the technical difficulty of the curtain getting stuck. I know this sounds like a pretty cool day but here is the really awesome part.

Dave and I go to have post-theater dinner at Bar Centrale. Bar Centrale would be hard to find if you didn't know it was there. It is in an unmarked brownstone, so it looks like an apartment building. On our way to dinner I notice Mel Brooks on the street. (It gets better) A minute later he is joined by Andrea Martin (Aunt Voula from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). (It gets even better) So Dave and I go up to the restaurant and are seated. Two minutes later Mel and Andrea come into the restaurant and are with Susan Stroman (famous Broadway director) and Nathan Lane. (I know this is hard to believe but it gets better) They are seated at the table next to us. (There is still more). About five minutes later Megan Mullally (Karen from Will and Grace) join them. So for a recap, I got to spend yesterday with one of my best friends, we had tons of fun, met up with some old friends that I haven't seen in years, saw an amazing show, and had the mother of all celebrity citings. That is why it was the best day ever.

Today I had lunch with Dave. We made a quick trip to the GreenFlea Market...I bought that vanity finally. Then we had to say goodbye (which was sad). Now I am headed back to Brooklyn (Esther let me crash in Manhattan this weekend so that I would be closer to Dave) and getting my vanity brought to me.
