This One's for the Ladies

Only the Essentials in NYC

A quick trip to NYC left only time for the essentials.

Late Night Nostalgia on the Upper West Side

Being back in my neighborhood where I grew up makes me feel the nostalgic the way Homer meant. It's weird and moving and great like visiting an old friend, except you both keep changing and it's hard to keep up as much as you used to. It hurts my heart (and my heart) a little bit.

Linds and Mal Visit for Inauguration Weekend

This weekend Lindsey and Mallory visited. It was inauguration, which is the most DC thing I've ever done besides straighten my hair.

Gatsbies in Brooklyn

Jodie and Sarah had a Great Gatsby themed party.

Lindsey's Birthday

First we got ready to go out.

Gchatting with Lindsey

Lindsey and I have been best friends since sixth grade. Aka 15 years and two months as of right now. 

We've gone a LOT of places together.

Tea with Lindsey and Em in DC

New York City in June

Surprise Birthday

I surprised my friends with a visit, but it turned out they knew the whole time and the dinner I was crashing was my birthday dinner.

Emily's Birthday

You know my thoughts on Brooklyn, but for Emily there is nowhere I wouldn't go. (Ok, Queens might be pushing it.)

BYOB with GIRLS

This is about going out to dinner with my four best friends. 

Jodie's BBQ

This is Jodie. She is dynamite at hosting dinner parties. 

The Brooklyn Book Club

Lucky for me, a visit home to NYC coincided with the very first meeting of the Brooklyn Book Club. Most of the members had read most of the book. (It was "Motherless Brooklyn," and we really did talk about it. For a bit.)
