Amanda had a good day of classes on Friday and we prepared to have a fun weekend! On Friday night, we went to Pete's Tavern and tried some of their Italian dishes! Very yummy!We saw our friend, the "bread" guy that we were friendly with last year and he came to our table and chatted a bit. We were talking about the recent New York heat and he told us that he was from Bangladesh and had been living in New York City for 11 years and working at Pete's for 7 years!
After that we went back to the apartme
nt and had a nice evening relaxing and watching the Gilmore Girls. It was nice to be able to rest, especially since I seemed to have caught the ABT bug! One of Amanda's friends was out sick the entire week! Thankfully Amanda only missed one day last week and seems to be on the mend.On Saturday, we slept in a little and decided to explore the Times Square area. We took the subway to 42nd Street and decided to go to John's Pizzeria for lunch--we were there last year, it is a very well known restaurant. We had a very enjoyable lunch and then made our way to a big souvenir shop in Times Square.
We bought a couple of items and then strolled down Broadway looking at some very inexpensive jewelry shops that are located there. Everything was so incredibly cheap and you weren't allowed to try anything on, even a ring, so we decided that these stores wouldn't be the best place to purchase anything.
After that we went back to the apartment to feed Muff and take him for a little walk. Then, Amanda and I made our first trip o
f the summer to Pinkberry! The frozen yogurt and fruit were very yummy and we had a nice time. It was very pleasant walking back to our apartment, since the heat has abated!
f the summer to Pinkberry! The frozen yogurt and fruit were very yummy and we had a nice time. It was very pleasant walking back to our apartment, since the heat has abated! It was also nice to stroll by the beautiful Gramercy Park. The park gates are locked and only residents of the area whose apartment look out on the park are given a key. Nonetheless, it is beautiful to look through the gates at the lush greenery and a very well maintained park.
On Sunday, we got up and had a nice bre
akfast at Big Daddy's Diner, located on Park Street, very close to our apartment. I had regular pancakes and Amanda had pancakes with bananas and chocolate! Very yummy! Their coffee was so delicious also! Amanda said it was the best coffee she had ever had! We even asked the waitress what kind of coffee it was and we are going to try to find it when we return to Virginia.

Sounds like you had a good weekend enjoying your Italian foods. Sorry you caught the "ABT bug" - hope you will be feeling better soon. Will be interested to know what kind of coffee you thought was so good - hope you will be able to find it back here. Glad the heat has abated - hope it stays cooler for you - and Muff too, of course! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteThanks for the get well wishes! We asked the waitress about the coffee. It is Kobricks Coffee--a local coffee company. I think you can order it online, but doubt they have it in DC. Love, Beth
