cream cheese please


so i began planning for the weekend on monday. and when friday rolled around i had an itinerary all typed up which i proceeded to email to my friends. i attribute my excellent planning abilities to my grandma carol, the travel agent extraordinaire, and to my momma, the wonder woman in the flesh.

after work on friday we headed to the east village to get some dinner and we ended up at south brooklyn pizza. now this place was amazing. i think we all agreed that it was some of the best pizza we had ever had. later that night we went over to the red door again. i was feeling a little exhausted so after hanging around for one band, the technicolor glasses, nick, zack and i headed out to find some grub. we ended up at moonstruck diner for some shakes and cheese fries.

on saturday, i must have woken up in a cosmic confusion because of the worlds impending doom or something because it was a rough one for me. just to name a few of my blunders,  i ...

          left my card at home
          couldn't find a bank to cash my check
          my metrocard turned faulty
          jumped a subway turnstile
          missed the train
          took the longest route possible
          lady cussing at me for 5 minutes
          spilled my dr. pepper on my white coat
          had my dr. pepper confiscated
          lost my heel on the subway stairs

despite all, it was a fantastic day. marissa and i tried to get down to broadway early to try and get some student rush tickets to jersey boys, due to some of the set backs previously mentioned we were too late and the rush tickets were sold out. nick, marissa and i walked around to the different theaters and finally found three rush tickets all together to baby its you. so we snagged them up.

for lunch we stopped at absolute bagels, one of the best bagel joints in manhattan, just around the corner. i had an everything bagel with chive and garlic cream cheese and the taste combination was absolutely scrumptious. and i usually dislike cream cheese. afterwards, we made our way to the brooklyn flea. i was so worth the trek out to brooklyn. i felt like such a hipster snagging pictures of vintage/retro finds with instagram. i'm a cool cat. for an afternoon snack, marissa and i got some yummy doughnuts from dough's booth at the flea.  in the near future i would like to attend smorgasburg which is an extension of the brooklyn flea consisting entirely of food.

when we got home we took a cat nap and then got beautified for our broadway show. we had so much fun. the music was great and at the end everyone was up clapping and singing along. while i am out here i would like to see:

          wicked (haven't ever seen it! ya best believe it)
          how to succeed in business without really trying
          memphis
          billy elliot
          the importance of being earnest

for dinner we urbanspooned it and ended up at cafe mogador. we took a chance and it was so great. we ordered the falafel and hummus platter, the chicken casablanca tagine, and vegetable couscous and shared it all. it was food heaven.

we attempted to go the sky room, nyc's highest rooftop lounge, afterwards. but the line was too long. well really, marissa and i's skirts were not quite short enough or tight enough.

today, we decided to go to the new york public library. their celebrating 100 years exhibit just opened last week so we spent most of our time there. there was so much to see. we loved it. afterwards we headed over to madison square park where it was a tad too cold to be enjoyable but we were able to see juame plensa's installation piece. and we may or may not have visited shake shack... i braved cheese on my burger and i wasn't disappointed. but i think greasewood flat will always be the only place where i will ever prefer cheese on my burger, green chile cheese burger that is.

this weekend was a success
and cassie will even be bring some of these bad boys to works tomorrow. (cookies not men)
i just need to find someone to bring me some of these now (deep fried strawberries... trust me, just look at them)
