I’m still recovering from my Thanksgiving. I had the opportunity to travel to New York City, where I got to hang out with my sister and brother-in-law, as well as as my good friend James Holston and his sister Marianne.
Here’s a few things we did:
Ate a splendid dinner with my sister and brother-in-law.
Finally watched Prometheus.
Introduced James to How I Met Your Mother. For us single 30somethings, the show is cathartic.
Wandered the city a lot, taking in sites like Time Square, the UN, Central Park, and Williamburg.
Ate some great stuff like the guaco taco at Vinnie’s Pizza, the 5 Napkin Burger original and something with procuitto and veal at Ann and Tony’s.
Visited the Upper East Side congregation of Trinity Grace Church.
Saw the revival of the comedy musical-within-a-musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
Took in the Train Show on the NYC Bontanical Gardens. Artists are commissioned to build recreations of famous city landmarks out of bark, acorns and other natural materials.
It had a blast.
However, I have to say that spending most of the last month in New York and LA, I’m more grateful than ever to be in Austin.
And tomorrow, I get to go see Sufjan!
