Thursday night, the plan was to fly down and then to join AJ at the Decemberists concert. Due to "high winds at La Guardia" (yeah, likely story), I didn't get to NY until 11am on Friday, missing the concert and a morning's worth of wandering around. It was very disappointing but I still made the best of the weekend:
Friday:
-thanks to waking up at 4:30am to get to the airport, my street smarts were somewhat dulled and I somehow got swept into a shared limo while waiting at the taxi rank at LGA.
-met AJ at her office, was amused by primary colour decor and youthful employees zipping around on scooters, then was fed at the impressive cafeteria. Such perks...
-walked in the rain from Rockefeller Square up 5th Avenue to the southeast corner of the park, then into some shops along 60th Street
-went to AJ's apartment in the LES, then to her highly recommended Purdy Girl dress shop where I bought two purdy dresses and was advised by the salesman to "tape 'em" (in reference to my... chest). I am not New York enough to tape my rack!
-proceeded to an impressive Japanese whiskey bar called "Angel's Share", where we watched mysterious bartenders mix our $12 cocktails with surgical precision. Meanwhile, as the two of us sipped and relaxed in this sophisticated setting, pregnant AM was standing on a street corner somewhere waiting for us to show up. Sorry!
-The reunion is complete! We get dressed up to enjoy champagne and Thai food.
