Apparently ‘tis the season for eating out so I’ve been working a little more and later lately. I’m grateful for the extra dough but with a Thursday- Sunday night schedule most weeks, it’s hard to squeeze fun things with Jen into the weekend. This Saturday we got up and first consulted our Time Out NY magazine to see what cool things were going on in the city. We decided to hit up a bake sale in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for brunch that the article claimed to be “a bake sale on steroids,” was an editor’s pick for the weekend, and spanning a few blocks. Typical of anything we get ourselves into, we had a good laugh when we arrived. It was so small we almost missed the quite average sized bake sale which spanned the length of a few tables. The people were very nice and it benefited something good in the community, but it’s funny how much Time Out hyped it up. The bake sale people must know someone.
After our interesting morning biking across boroughs we rushed into the city (me ready to go straight to work afterward) for a free walking tour around Union Square. It’s the area in the city we would most like to live in (maybe in June when our lease is up!) so we wanted to learn more. This Time Out NY suggested event was much less hyped up and much more worth it. Our tour guide was great and I would totally pay for a tour she was leading in the future.
Sunday, after getting up at 6:30 am to help with setup at church, I came back home and slept until one-ish. Before heading to work tonight (crazy, I know) I finally ordered a new phone online. Through walmart.com (I miss you walmart) I got a 4G LTE, Android Stratosphere by Samsung that seems to be close to the model that Jen has which I really like. The difference is, mine was free! (my favorite number by the way). It should come Wednesday and (no worries naysayers) I have two weeks to make sure I like it. I’ll keep you posted, hopefully easily from my new phone next week.
The TV show Pan Am is filming in LIC all day tomorrow. Tonight the streets around our apartment were eerily cleared of all parked cars except for a few classic 60’s sedans at our corner. The shooting may be that close! Pictures to come…
