sunday brunch (without pics) and farmers market

brunch with the family at sheep station (minus andrea, plus J&F-basically family).

afterwards rob and i headed to the small farmers market on 5th avenue for groceries. i just love the feel, look, smell, sense of community, everything about the market. who doesn't though.

here are a few hipstamatic moments of our lovely spring day.

'rain' and sun(day)

rain on broadway...

such a fun show! we were upgraded to orchestra seats and enjoyed a concert style cover show. it started with a video montage of important historic moments from the 1960's on a black and white vintage television shaped screen. it continued into a reenactment of the beatles playing on the ed sullivan show. the entire show included clips of history which influenced the music of the beatles throughout their career together.

they played many of my favorites and the guy who played paul had an uncanny resemblance to the real mccartney. my only complaint is they did not play norwegian wood.

we headed to fraunces tavern in the financial district to meet some of rob's new co-workers and stayed out way, way too late.

i have been fighting a cold so saturday was pretty relaxed. after a few errands we watched coverage of the earthquake in japan in despair. early to bed.

Sunny sunday...

a first sign of spring!

we took a long bus ride through park slope and red hook but ended up in cobble hill for brunch at cafe lulu.

leist-babe in bk!

leist-babe (aka andy) graced us with his presence this weekend.

thursday: momofuku

friday: sidecar and apartment dance party (till 4am)

saturday: 60 degrees and sunny, outdoor brunch, unlimited sangria, leister in love with brooklyn (and dogs)

look who walked by...joe and folake...two weeks till they tie the knot!

the sangria impaired us enough to prevent us from following through with our plan to tour the brooklyn brewery but we managed dinner at taro sushi with anne and dustin. sorry to you both for the necklace incident at barn...how embarrassing.

weekend recap

FRIDAY!

friday after work...we either have to go out and socialize or we have to stay in and lazy around the apartment. this week was a lazy, cold outside sorta friday. my lovely husband surprised me with beautiful spring mix flowers on his way home from work so i have been smelling and staring at them all weekend...dreaming of spring (naturally).

we finally watched the social network and as usual, i fell asleep and had to hear about the ending in bed on saturday morning. despite missing half of the film...i recommend it!

SATURDAY!

we decided to stick around the hood...brooklyn flea here we come...

the most gorgeous setting for a flea market...the williamsburg savings bank...



this 1920's dress was to die for but way out of my price range...it was in perfect condition and adorable! the entire booth made me super happy so luckily i was able to afford an awesome vintage summer dress, a vintage mink collar, and a horseshoe for above our front door (for luck of course). rob found a great vintage short sleeved button up...no coat despite his desperate search. funny i have no pictures of what we did buy!

 SATURDAY NIGHT!

 

we celebrated chris' birthday with a bowling party and apparently some pretty amazing fried chicken-i didn't have any. a great night...started with my best bowling score ever and ended dancing to a live band (and Pat Kerns sleeping on our couch again...in jeans...again...which breaks the number one rule in our apartment)!

SUNDAY BRUNCH!

 

dizzy's for brunch with the husband. we should have stuck with ordering their amazing specialty items like teo's italian eggs (my favorite) or bagels with lox...we both bombed with eggs, toast, etc...we both regret it...guess there's always next time...
