The thing about New York…

We knew our last day had to be big, so we started with more eating. After a mixup at Calle Ocho (Boo on Calle Ocho!), we ended up waiting in the cold for Good Enough to Eat.

Their waffles are good enough to eat but not that great. I’d get something with bacon in it instead. Their bacon is thick as all bacon should be in life.

After brunch Alice was kind enough to get some cupcakes for Michelle’s birthday.

The elevator in The Standard had this really creepy movie that played scenes of heaven when taking the elevator up and scenes of hell in red when taking it down.

Michelle’s birthday wish is that everyone drink! She got her wish. After drinking copious amounts of sangria at dinner we headed off to Bowery Electric. They play great music here that makes you want to do terrible 80′s dancing, which really is the best kind of dancing.

Meal #3 of the night. No idea what this restaurant is called.

On the flight home we got to see The Grand Canyon.

It was a great trip, fast and furious. I got to hang out in different scenery with a lot of the LA folks and got to see a lot of my friends temporarily stationed in New York. I say temporarily, because they all come back for the weather. They all do. New York’s a great place for one reason. All its greatness is rolled into one compact, phallic-shaped peninsula. It would drive me nuts to have that much going on so near me all the time. I’ll keep my quiet life, where I eat less than six meals a day.

  1. Just a few things:
    1) Your pictures really captured the trip well. Great photos!
    2) WoW! I can’t believe the amount of food we ate. We are pigs!
    3) Yes! The West Side being the best side is not merely a claim, it is the truth. As true as, “We need oxygen to breathe”.
    4) Lo should be in ads that promote putting dead carcasses on our heads for warmth.
    5) Miss you guys! Come back!

  2. great recap. no animals were harmed in the wearing of that hat, Malice.

  3. Nice photos. That strawberry butter was yummy. I also liked Katz’s. Though I was drunk, I remember it being delicious.

  4. new york is so great! i always miss the food..
