Well this week has been quite busy.
Tuesday I met up with my friends from Michigan Brad, Meghan, their daughters Hayley and Jamie and Meghan's mom. We had dinner and dessert at Serendipity 3. It is adorable. They are known for their frozen hot chocolates. Quite tasty.
Wednesday I met up with another friend from Michigan. Lucas Brooks who goes to college at Eugene Lang (also part of the New School). We went to this really cool place in Chelsea called Slate Grill. It is a really casual menu. Things like salads, burgers, and such but they also have a dance floor downstairs and a billiard and ping pong room.
Thursday Esther, her friend Linda and I had dinner at Metro Marche where they know the General Manager Alan. We then went to the New Victory Theater to see Young Frankenstein, which was amazing. I am dying for the soundtrack to come out. The musical stars Roger Bart (whom I had seen in the producers, if you watch Desperate Housewives he played George the psycho Paramacist). It also stars Meghan Mullaly, Andrea Martin, and Sutton Foster (whom I have heard on many soundtracks but had never seen before, she has been in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Little Women, and the Drowsy Chaperon, and is incredibly talented.) Other then the famous Putting on the Ritz number (which is still hilarious) my favorite moments were two new songs that came from famous lines from the film version, Roll in the Hay and He Vas My Boyfriend. Get this soundtrack immediately when it comes out.
Friday was a nice quite night of laundry, cleaning, and one of my landlords Terry make dinner. Yes for the first time in probably three months, someone cooked for me. Amazing!
Yesterday was also low key. IKEA came and delivered my furniture, which I am currently building. I am very impressed that so far my dresser looks like a dresser. Sandy and Terry (my landlords) thought it was funny when I asked to borrow tools. They asked me what I needed and I showed them the instructions and said I know this is a flathead and this is a philips but other then that I have no idea. They just laughed and gave me a lesson in tools.
Today I was planning to see the Grace Kelley Exhibit at Southeby's but the line was all the way around the block. So instead I went for a walk around the Upper East Side and did some window shopping. Then tonight Esther, Sandy, Terry, and I had dinner in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Esther and I were amazed because we have gone for Pris Fix dinner in Manhattan which is expensive and sometimes only so, so quality wise. But tonight we had $25.00 pre fix which was amazing. It was fun because we all share dishes but we had things like wild boar, a pasta with pumpkin and prosciutto, pork with Gorgonzola tater tots, butterscotch creme brule, pecan crunch gelatto, it was incredible..and cheep. I do adore Brooklyn it is really growing on me and their are neighbourhoods that are just as lovely as the Upper East Side in Manhattan.
