Week 1 - Highline & Brunch

This week my college friend Elizabeth was in town. She suggested we meet up and I immediately came back with "WE SHOULD DO THE HIGHLINE NEVER BEEN OMG"

Three years and I've never been up there. Whoops.

Before I get my caffene in convenient chai form, I see some weird shit.

Finally, up at the highline. I'm all for the ironic convergence of old and new, bring it on.

Elizabeth wanted to go to the Strand, since she's never been and I was happy to oblige since I love the place (just don't tell the other bookstore I work for). We cut through Greenwich and I found Pastis, which I had heard of but never seen before. Still haven't been but the signage sure is nice.

We actually went to Virage on 7th and 2nd for brunch. I've been there so many times I completely forgot to take a picture. I should have taken one of the food (sunnyside up eggs, Mediterranean salad, pita, and mimosa) which was tasty as always.

We met up kinda early so the streets were super quiet. Like, I Am Legend quiet. After a quick hike to Madison Square Park, we found a few more people. Look at all the sheeple lines up for Shake Shack, what zombies!

And you've got to appreciate the interactive (and slightly spooky) art.

Next week.... who knows? Haven't decided where to go next. Suggestions are welcome!
