Yesterday sister-in-law Jackie and Jen’s cousin Jill came to LIC to visit. After taking them on the grand tour of the apartment we walked a couple blocks to Blend for lunch and then to check out our neighborhood. Everything at Blend was great but the server. I am one and can tell you that when you only have a few tables there’s no excuse for crappy service. He was so slow, getting a refill was like pulling teeth, and then he ran our checks to the wrong cards after we labeled it for him on the receipt. Anyway, Gantry Plaza State Park is a must on any LIC walking tour and we got to play (if you can call it that) some pianos that were out as part of a city art project. Later I headed to work as the girls headed into the city to shop… and eat ads Jen.
I have today, tomorrow, and Friday off from work which is great… just costly. We were good today though as we just took a Pilates class at the gym and ran some cheap errands in the city. Coming home we noticed signs posted all over the neighborhood that Vernon Blvd will be closed for the filming of a movie tomorrow. If we can’t see what’s happening from our bedroom window we’ll have to do some snooping for celebrities.
