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

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.

$11 sandwich from the Carnegie deli. Yes, $11! But it did feed me for two meals so I guess I can't complain.

On Sunday Matt and I went to a Yankees Mets game with my friend, Yasmine, and her boyfriend, James. Although the Yankees did not win, we still had fun. (I am just in it for the hot dogs anyway.)

Damon is my favorite. Since he used to be a Red Sock, I feel like I am sticking to my roots :)

Out in New York City!

Between going to Nicole's wedding, home for Father's Day and up to Boston, I have actually not yet spent a weekend in New York. On Saturday night, Matt and I went to a great Japanese dinner at a restaurant called Hagi near Times Square with Chris and his girlfriend, Liz. Afterwards, we met up with Juliet and her sister, Katherine.

Work

I am in the middle of my fourth week at the New York Supreme Court. I am interning with a judge in the commercial division. There are 11 of us interns and we observe court for about half of the time and write memos about the various cases that have come up the other half of the time. I am really enjoying the work so far. It is interesting to work with the other 10 interns since they all go to the New York law schools and all of those programs are very different from Northeastern's program. Working in the commercial division has its positives and negatives. The cases are big and high profile almost always involving a company that I know (AIG, Louis Vuitton, Christy's, etc). They always involve large sums of money which can be impressive in many ways- both because the amounts are sometimes more than I will ever see in a lifetime and also because the judge is always encouraging parties to settle when the amount is less than 200K or so. ("Come on guys! It's only $180,000!") I have also had the opportunity to sit in on some other court proceedings. Today I took a little field trip to the Bronx Family Court to observe a child custody case.
