The Weekend

I was so happy when Friday rolled around...I needed a relaxing weekend away from Manhattan. It's funny, because when you live and work in NYC, by the weekend everyone of the locals is ready to get as far away as possible from the fast paced city. Friday night was very relaxing. Everyone in the group was pretty tired, so we just stayed in our neighborhood and got Chinese food and Carvel ice cream. Carvel is like a really popular ice cream chain in the north apparently. They have really great low fat soft serve!

Saturday was the most beautiful day in Brooklyn. It was a perfect low 70's, sunny, with a slight chill in the air. Fall has arrived in NYC! I really wish I had some grilled cheese, tomato soup, a pumpkin spice latte, a pumpkin spice latte, and a over sized sweatshirt! I went to Prospect Park to enjoy this beautiful day. It is a huge park about 2 subway stops up. It was filled with kids, dogs, and just people enjoying the day. It felt really good to see trees and I really enjoyed just getting some fresh air. Later on Saturday, we invited a few of my friend Amanda's friends over to our place. Amanda is interning at The Letterman Show, and there are a big group of fellow interns she has made friends with. We enjoyed meeting them and just hanging out! We somehow found ourselves at a Karaoke Bar later that night....it was interesting to say the least. There were many bad singers, but it was fun regardless! A couple of us were brave enough to sing. A couple of the artists/songs included: Backstreet Boys, Johnny Cash, Journey, " Total Eclipse of The Heart", " Lady Marmalade", and Spice Girls. I feel like we will be going back to this place in the near future to get our " performance fix" in.
