Weekend in Review

Going to try and keep it short since I already wrote a similar post before it was deleted. Thursday evening I met up with a few interns and we headed over to Blockheads for some Mexican food and cheap drinks. I ended up leaving around 8 to make sure I was home in time for Emily and Amanda's arrival! They got in around 10 and I showed them my dorm room..given the space that took about .2 seconds. They gave me my birthday gift which was a HUGE wine glass with 21 airplane bottles inside.




Getting ready in the morning I thought was going to be a huge pain since it was going to be 5 girls trying to get ready in one bathroom. It actually was not bad at all and we all headed out around 9. I headed to work while Emily and Amanda headed downtown to see the Statue of Liberty. I didn't get out of work till 5ish so I ended up meeting them at H&M. We headed back to the dorm and got ready for a promotion tour for Pepsi Max that Court's company was working on. We really went to go see Kim Kardashian but she didn't show up for like 2 hrs, and when she did she slipped by right behind us and went into her hotel. Sneaky! I am now boycotting her stupid show. She has no talent anyways.

After that we headed over to Pop Burger which has the most amazing french fries ever. Then we headed down to the Brass Monkey bar. Expensive drinks but a really cool place.

Saturday morning I took them down to Greenwich and we ate at Palma, the place I have been dying to eat at. The food was AMAZING. I got homemade fettuccine with a mushroom sauce and homemade sausage.




I then took them down to SoHo which of course was packed. After doing some shopping we headed back and got cupcakes at crumbs. The amount of cupcakes in that store is overwhelming. I got funfetti (L), Amanda got butterfinger (center) and Emily got chocolate covered strawberry. Since Greg took them to the bus stop in DC and picked them up, they got him a hostess cupcake from Crumbs.





We got ready to go out for the evening and headed up to Times Square. We also ate at a family style Italian restaurant called Carmines. Even at 10 at night the place had a wait. The penne alla vodka made it worth it though.
We went down to a college bar after our meal called Down the Hatch. It had beer pong tables, a foosball table, and even a porch swing in the bar.

Sunday we all went to Serendipity and got the famous frozen hot chocolate. I was thinking it would be served in a mug, but no, it was like drinking from a bowl. So good though. And yes, at this point in the weekend I have gained roughly five pounds.





We also walked around Dylan's candy bar and up through a French Market. I took them over to Central Park and into Bergdorf Goodmans. Amanda even tried on a pair of Christian Loubitons --they were $735.
Before I knew it it was already time for them to catch their bus home. I think they had a really good time though and it was so nice to spend my weekend with them!! :-)




After they left I took a run around central park and finally found the Zoo. I also found the fountain that is in the opening of "Friends." There was some kind of rollerblade dancing party going on in the park too. You really can never get bored there.


Last night Courtney, her friend from home, Lindsay and I all went out to Off the Wagon. On Monday nights they have $1 drafts. Of course all the good beer on draft didn't apply. I was stuck drinking Bud Light. Ehhh.


I just got out of a competitive meeting at work which was pretty interesting. I always feel realy legit when I am in a meeting and taking notes. Most of the information is really over my head though. I usually sit in on these meeting like a mute though. I feel like if I said something they would just be like "Who does this intern think she is!?"

Going to see Rock of Ages on Broadway tonight. The dorm offered discounted tix so Scott and I are going, along with a few other ppl from the dorm.
