It's weird trying to write to an invisible audience. This is my introductory blog post, so please be patient while I figure out how to post pictures and stuff. I'm not so tech-savvy. My iPhone still frightens me.
Pete and I actually have nothing news-worthy to share this weekend. Friday night Catherine and I went to a fancy place called The Monday Room to have drinks and appetizers. It was worth every exorbitant penny! We shared a glazed eel and quail egg appetizer, venison sliders, and a side of fried Brussels sprouts. I wish I had taken a few photos of our food because it was as pretty as it was delicious! Afterwards, slightly tipsy and still hungry, we went to Balthazar and sat at the bar to have one more drink and an order of escargot with a side of fries. Catherine stabbed me with her escargot fork by accident (those things are sharp!) and I thought 5 of the six escargot shells were empty because we had some trouble extracting the meat. Luckily, it turns out I'm just dumb and a little banging them upside-down on the plate got the little suckers to cooperate.
Next weekend I think Pete and I will try to get up to the Highline park and maybe the Standard Biergarten if it's not too cold. For now I'm posting some random pictures (with captions, if I can figure out how to do that) so you can see what we've been up to. I hope you enjoy the blog!
Ah, the Chelsea Hotel. Unfortunately it's recently closed but we got a few shots of the exterior and it's one of my favorite buildings in NYC.
Pete and I outside Whitman's on East 9th Street. We went for drinks with the people who designed our wedding jewelry. They've moved their shop from 9th Street to Lafayette Street and it makes me so sad!
Pete had to wrench his arm through a locked gate with the camera pointing up to get this shot of the entrance to the NY Life building by Madison Square Park. I love that building too.
We are total bumpkins. This is a shot of the window display at the Valentino store on Madison Avenue. If you look closely you can see my face going "ooooh!"
One of those things in NYC that you would think everyone would know, but no one does. This is where the Titanic would have docked had it made it to its destination. We got this shot on a really fun day along the Westside Highway.
I love the colors in this shot. This is some random house in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that we thought was cool. That was one of those days that started really rocky! We got off the train at the wrong stop and walked probably 1 1/2 miles in horrible heat and humidity before we found the fun part of Williamsburg. We made up for it by having one too many beers at lunch and buying me a vintage dress!
Anyway, that's all for now, but I'll keep posting!
xoxo,
Leigh
