We battled through the winter and even got a snow day (first in five years). Chad has been taking one class on the books and the other off. He's extending his schooling into the Fall. We here another year which will leave time for more adventures. Here's the latest and greatest~
GO METS! HELLO CITI FIELD!
The apple made it into the new stadium. On April 29th 80 fifth graders and Sarah will see it. Take me out to the ball game!
Mr. Met got a shiny new look too!
She's looks all cleaned up for the big opener!
Real World Brooklyn-Record Set Straight
People do not drive around Brooklyn. People take buses and subways except if they live in Redhook. The Redhook neighborhood housed the latest Real World folks at Pier 41. The location is interesting because not a whole lot exist.
Pier 41 also houses the BEST Key Lime tarts and pies in the world. Steve only sells Key Lime. We're fans of the Swingle (Chocolate covered Key Lime tart).
Up Town Field Trip
We headed up north with our crew! Goodness it felt like another world. We went to The Cloisters which is a French Monastery, to Tom's Restaurant for some Seinfeld fun and St. John the Divine. Elin took us through Columbia campus where she works.
Saint John the Divine is the largest cathedral in the world. The statue of liberty can stand in the middle. Huge!
Tom's Restaurant is famous for Seinfeld, the best milkshake in NYC and Suzanne Vega sang about "Tom's Diner".
A Slice of Home in NYC!
Bubble hockey has been found in the East Village. We headed out to eat at Supper (very yummy Italian)and watch some hoops! We found this bar that houses bubble hockey. It's not like the olden days of USSR vs. USA but the colors resembled Red Wings vs. Maple Leafs. Quarters were placed and locals were played.
Late night out in the big city!
Say It's So!
At the beginning of March just when we thought the snow was over a snow day closed NYC schools!
Theater Fun
Brooklyn Academy of Music featured Ethan Hawk in Cherry Orchard and Winters Tale. Both were incredible. Ethan grabbed a guitar in a Winter's Tale sang with an incredible voice. He stole the show!
Detroit Visitor!
Sarah's sister came to visit! It was Fashion Week~ Bryant Park Tents were up. Sneaking in is really difficult.
No Haters in the Club
Manchild had a show in Jersey City! We left NYC!
