eat, drink, repeat.

Well its been another fabulous year and I'm so thankful for everyone in my life. The holiday is over and its "back to reality" but i'm focused and determined to keep that holiday spirit in me always and to make my everyday reality one that I'm happy with everyday. 

On NYE we went out for our 2nd year anniversary to what is quickly becoming one of our favorite local places, Milkflower. We dined on the "van dammer" wood fired pizza which had brussel sprouts and a cracked egg in the middle. We then made the trek to Brooklyn to meet up with old friends, drink whiskey sours, and listen to AMAZING music at Radegast bier hall. See some photos below and guess if we had a good time.

 

I unfortunately had to go to work on Friday to take down all the holiday in our store. Luckily I had 

my trusty visual sales associate with me to lend a hand. Together we took down about 30 christmas trees (dried pine needles sticking into my skin and all), de-installed one of our holiday windows, and covered the artwall with some fresh canvas. We definitely burned off a lot of calories from Christmas cookies that day. 

Anyway, on to the weekend! Determined to start the new year off how I want to spend every weekend we went to the next restaurant on our list Astoria Bier and Cheese. It was a very pleasant experience because its an all glass front of the building so we sat and watched it pour rain outside. We then went and had some Thai food next door and later met up with more old friends at our apartment for some whiskey gingers, cosmopolitans, and good conversation. 

After a food and drink filled Saturday we had a very pleasant Sunday of sitting on a bench outside Madame Sou Sou's (the coffee shop around the corner) before heading to Manhattan to FINALLY see the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I plan on going back a dozen times so it was nice to be able to leisurely walk through just a few exhibits and plan a return trip. 

 

Oh...and we had more curry (of the Indian variety) after our museum visit. Surprise surprise.

Other than eat, drink, and be merry for the last couple of days we did manage to plan our Denver trip. We had bought the plane tickets months ago but we finally booked our Bed and Breakfast. Check out this amazing room we'll be staying in for the first two nights!

And the rooftop room will be staying in the last night as my Christmas gift from Mike. Can't wait to check out our next potential home town (yes mom and dad I said it...)
