Let's Hear it for New York

I visited Mary in wonderful New York for Memorial Day, and we had a super whirlwind non-stop fun weekend.  I also got to see my beloved/brilliant/amazing cousin JAKE and several Oklahoma friends who were randomly in town as well.  My top 3 favorite activities include: 

1.) "Saved by the 90s"at the Canal Room where an incredibly entertaining/talented 90s cover band called the Bayside Tigers plays all the songs you grew up singing along to on the radio. So. Much. Fun. For a 6-second glimpse, watch Mary's Vine below (turn the volume on/off in the upper left corner). 

2.) A hilarious/delish Arrested Development themed tasting menu (to celebrate the new season) at The Three Letters in Brooklyn. This was so great. From subtle framed decor in the bathroom to 2 guys sitting near us who casually both took off their pants during the meal to reveal they were 'Never Nudes', the theme was legittt. My favorites of the 9 courses were the Corn Balls and the Bluth Frozen Banana. So good!

3.) Central Park-ing! The first couple days I was there, the weather was cold/rainy/lame, but then it was beautiful/sunny/perfect (whoo!), so we took full advantage and spent several hours basking in the sun in Central Park on Memorial Day. It was glorious. :)

The rest of the weekend was filled with more great food/drinks, art, Broadway, Mary's insanely cute dog Ray, etc. (as seen below). 

Thanks for an amazing visit, Mar! 

Until next time New York... I love you.
