Vacation in NYC, part 2

So another reason why I visited NYC was to celebrate Daniel Nayeri's latest young adult book, Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow. He's also an editor at Clarion, as well as an aspiring international spy and former pastry chef. His wife (she is the SWEETEST!) and I were wearing nearly matching Anthropologie dress too ;)

My painting's the blue one!

Union Square doodling.

A little Fat Cat Scrabble fun with the folks.

My boop trying so hard to make up for my suckiness at pool. It's genetic. My sister & I played the longest, worst game of pool against each other. It's safe to say we both lost because our friend made us stop.

Daniel & Kimmi met over a cup of coffee.

And this is a soon-to-be-married couple's story of how they fell in love... in Clink form!

Vacation in NYC, part 1

Holidays are the craziest time & it's typically a non-stop hustle. So, I've found taking a vacation in October (after the summer time fairs and right before the holiday hustle) is THE BEST THING EVER. Also, the weather is nothing but awesome sauce (time to dust off those coats!).

pork belly steamed bun - momofuku ssam bar

 Kevin joined me for my vacation and we ate our faces off all over the city. We ventured to Momofuku Ssam Bar.

 We also had the oysters with yellow watermelon & thai basil (gahhhhh...) & sweets from Milk Bar.

 

We then traveled to Brooklyn Bowl to watch a free preview of this season's first episode of Bored to Death. I was hoping :sigh: Jonathan aka Jason Schwartzman aka my boyfriend in another life would be there. Was he? No. But real life Jonathan aka Jonathan Ames was!

 

We headed to Barcade to spend the quarters weighing down my tote bag. I kicked his butt at Tetris!!

Then it was back to BK Bowl for the smooth, groovy tunes of DJ ?uestlove of the Roots.

 Home at 4:30am. Not bad for the first night :)
