Our exciting, TROPICAL, friend and food filled weekend!


YAY FOR DUSTY! One of Josh's best friends, Dustin, is now in NYC. He is working for Goldman as well and is here temorarily for training. We were so excited to see him! We haven't done anything social since we have been here so it was a welcome change. We went out to dinner and had the most amazing view from our table.

We found Max Brennar's~it's a chocolate restaurant that is amazing. We had the world's BEST hot chocolate. It kicks Cocoa Cafe's butt. It tasted like the best chocolate you have ever had in your life mixed with cream and butter. We also enjoyed a chocolate peanut butter pizza. We felt like crap after we ate these tasty treats but they were definitely delicious.



We woke up to another gloomy day in the city. We decided that we were sick of the cold weather and clouds so we had a "tropical day." We had a tropical breakfast that consisted of egg quesadillas, fresh salsa, black beans, avocado and kiwi. We enjoyed our breakfast wearing our bathingsuits and listening to the Beach Boys. We wanted tropical day to last all day so we wore sandals (with our down coats).



Every year Macy's has a flower show. We went to see it and it was beautiful. The air inside the store was so fresh and the flower displays were gorgeous. This Macy's is the biggest department store in the world...pretty impressive!


We walked the Brooklyn Bridge to eat at Grimaldi's Pizza. It was the best pizza we have ever had. It was well worth the walk and the wait.




If you can't read this it is Alexander Hamilton's grave. It is about five minutes from where we live at a beautiful church from the 1700's.

Ok, first of all, let's start off with the Chocolate Restaurant. I've never even heard of such an amazing thing, and I'm currently looking at flights to come visit you just for that place. Wow! That's amazing. Second, could you guys be any funnier with your tropical day? I love that Josh even put his sunglasses on, all you need is a flower in your hair! Third, can you send me some of that Grimaldi's pizza? That seriously looks divine.... The next time I go to NY, (which will probably be in like 40 years) I am taking you with me, whether you want to go or not, just so you can show me all the good stuff.
