On Easter sunday Kayla and I had delicious brunch at Cheryl's Global Soul. We had so much food- and mimosas, orange juice, coffee and tea, to go along with it. at 236 Underhill Ave in Brooklyn, right by Prospect Park.
We arrived at 11, and thankfully just beat the crowd. We barely had to wait, but people who arrived just about fifteen minutes after us had a two hours.
I got buttermilk pancakes with a mixed berry compote and chantilly cream- they were perfectly light and fluffy.
Kayla ordered a bowl of red zinger tea.
She had the salmon hash with poached eggs and hollandaise.
Outside of Cheryl's, we had a great people watching view. Dogs-as well! There were so many cute ones. I think there was a really cute lab with a cast on its tail, just right out of frame to the right. You can just imagine the cuteness of that.
Long time no blog- I have a lot of catching up to do, I know.
So, here is this video to help illustrate what I've been doing for the past couple months. A mix of old and new, really.
I just touched ground back in New York from Seattle. I was staying with my family for about two weeks for Thanksgiving holiday- and it was so nice!
During my trip to the pacific northwest, I also took a trip to Canada! My mum surprised me for my birthday. We were in Victoria, British Columbia, which is this charming little resort town for Canadians- the temperature there is usually warmer and the sun shines for a longer time of year than in most areas of Canada. Its their 'west coast'.
Im back in new york, but more specifically I am upstate for the long labor day weekend. Im here with my sister before she makes her road trip back to California. She's been in NY for the past month. We went upstate last week too. Its just beautiful here, such a relief from the city. Its funny how you can drive for three hours out of the city, and feel a world away from it.
Theres a little stray kitten up here too that is the sweetest thing, I will have to post a picture of her later. Also, I just have to mention that everyone up here cooks amazingly. The food is outrageously good- they get a lot of it straight from the backyard!
Tonight me and Melissa go back to NY. School starts back up again on tomorrow; our chem class that was cancelled is now back on. Sigh* Spring break has been awesome here in Pennsylvania-
This weekend was insane, and, do I dare say, the funnest yet? Today Yas informed me that I called her 4am my time on Friday night (well, Saturday morning, I guess) saying some pretty weird shit. I also called Brye, Ashley, and Emir, how embarrassing.
On Sunday I bought flowers at Whole Foods to brighten my room...I swear this is all I could find to put them in.
I'm going to New York Friday for Cait's birthday! I'm so excited! We're seeing a New York band called the So So Glo's, a group Cait's sister apparently knows personally. Cait's gift contains 3 parts: 1 she knows about (an AU sweatshirt), and 2 she doesn't (1 will be delish, the other...she might possibly be mad? Love you girlyy)
Advice if you are thinking about eating Thai in the city- do NOT eat at Little Thai Kitchen in midtown. Beides the food poisoning I experienced, this was a great weekend. The only not so fun part was having two take 2.5 hours worth in 4 different forms of public transportation (train, subway, ferry, shuttle) back home from CT tonight. Glad thats over!
Im just settling down at a friends apt in the city. Im ready for breakfast with Ann tomorrow morning! This is the first time we'll have seen each other since our move to the East Coast. Can't wait. I picked up her a little treat from a favorite bakery of mine in Greenwich- but I'll explain that in another post- Tonight I was with Marjorie and Rozmary in West Village in search for halloween things. We stopped by some rather interesting stores, tried on some very funny costume accessories, took directions from a questionable man in a record store, and had some delectable treats along the way. Mmm crepes! Phileo Yogurt on Bleeker now has pumpkin flavor for the season; why can't it be a year round thing?
Night!
