The Cloisters
Today I went to the Met's collection of Gothic and Roman art at their satellite museum called the Cloisters at W190th St.

Dessert Truck
Ok. So I haven't loved every minute of living in New York. It is expensive and crowded and more pretentious than Boston. Girls wear Chanel dresses and I haven't seen someone wearing a t-shirt declaring their college in weeks. I sometimes think that smaller cities are more my style. I like wearing flip flops. A lot.
But for its flaws, New York can beat no other in terms of food. Someone sometime once said that to have lived in New York is to have lived everywhere. And I think that holds true, especially in terms of food. After having a delicious dinner at Go, a Japanese restaurant on St. Mark's Place with Juliet and her friend, Aubrey, we stopped at what can only be described as heaven on the sidewalk. It was the Dessert Truck serving up delicious delicacies that would make the ice cream truck blush. Aubrey and I had the chocolate mousse with peanut butter cream center topped with caramel popcorn. Juliet had the Goat Cheese Cheesecake. I thought the cheesecake was kind of a miss. Imagine what sweet goat cheese tastes like and you have the favor idea. I wasn't a fan. But the mousse really was to die for.

New York Botanical Gardens
Juliet and I made a trip to the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx this afternoon. It was really lovely!

On Friday, Juliet and I saw "An American in Paris" on the big screen in Washington Square Park!

Candice and Patrick's Wedding
We celebrated the wedding of our good friends, Candice and Patrick. Matt was one of the best men. On Saturday there was a wedding mass and then the "rehearsal" dinner.

Carnegie
Carnegie Hall
$11 sandwich from the Carnegie deli. Yes, $11! But it did feed me for two meals so I guess I can't complain.
Pirate Liberty
Manhattan streetfair. I bought a brown and blue scarf!

You can never have too much long armed photography!
