Jill!!! It has been too long. I blame the summer heat and lazy days. I've had some fun weekends lately in our fair city of New York. A few weekends ago I was with your sis Melis and we saw "Reasons for Being Pretty" by Neil LaBute. Very good. We think it took place in NJ because they mentioned going to Longhorns on 22! It was a great play that managed to be dark and honest but also made us laugh. We really enjoyed it and then loved going to dinner after to discuss. We went to Havana Alma de Cuba which was delic with fun drinks and Cuban fare. We happened to find out later that it was Gay Pride Weekend so the streets were teeming with great people watching and Melis even got the highest compliment of all "Girl, you look fierce!" from a young lad! The next day we met Sue Rod Deputytang for brunch at a really nice place (don't remember name) that looked like a French bistro. After that and a few mimosas we went to see the Sex and the City movie! I was so excited to see it. Melis and Sue were kind enough to at first pretend they hadn't seen it yet to breaking down and telling me they did to of course being more than happy to see it again! I honestly loved every second of it! I laughed...I cried. Love the message it has and the love letter it is to female friendships and to New York. I can relate to both very much. After the movie we headed to a new bbq place that I think was named Smiths? We felt the need for cocktails and discussion of the movie. One drink turned into more and apps were ordered. In our defense we were sitting out a major rain storm. We then had to part ways but were filled with love and yum food and drink and smiles on our faces!
My next weekend involved a bachelorette party for a friend from my clerkship. Her friend's husband works for Mastercard and was able to get us VIP passes to see Bon Jovi in Central Park. Hilarious and so fun. We met at that girls apartment which...Jill...was right next to Trinity Pub!!! She lived right in the heart of our UES life! Trinity was closed for renovations. I was feeling very nostalgic that night because we were passing all our old haunts...Mimmas pizza, Dorians, Brother Jimmy's and the list goes on. There is now a pinkberry up there! seemed like there were some cute new restautants too. Ah the good ol' days! So we had drinks and apps at girls apartment, went to concert where we saw Penny Marshall go past us in a golf cart on the way to the concert! (hence the title of this post) JBJ was faboo. Brought out the Jerz Girl in me! fun to sing to the old hits (see pic above). We then headed off to Brother Jimmy's for a fish bowl. Then to Iggy's for some karaoke. All lots of fun. Thought of you and had to text you from that area due to all our memories! Much love Jill! How is your summer going?! Do tell...
