weekend fun.

i worked at equinox on saturday without a single appointment so when i got home,  i said to christi and heather "let's do something fun!"  so we went to this place called the frying pan.  it's an actual old ship that they've turned into a little grille/bar.  when we got there, the line was FOREVER long!! we waited in line for about an hour but it wasn't too bad because we were right on the pier and got to watch the sun set.  the food was mediocre... mostly just a fun atmosphere.  then we were on a mission to make it to the shake shack for their daily special custard, chocolate chip cookie!  i had been craving it ALL DAY LONG and was going to go on my way home from work but decided to go home and shower and get it later.  well the subways already run on a different schedule on the weekends but now they've started doing construction so they're all sorts of messed up.  our local train suddenly turned into an express so we had to get on another and back track back to the stop where the shake shack was... blah, blah, confusing, confusing... anyways, christi and i literally ran from the subway stop to shake shack and got there right at 11:00, which is when they close.  there was a guy guarding the door and he would NOT let us in.  i was so super bummed!  so we decided to go to a place called 5 napkin burger.  they're more of a gourmet burger type joint.  christi and i split a burger and then we split a brownie sundae and a cookies'n'cream shake.  it was pretty good, just not what i had been craving all day :(

i just love the sunsets here...

on sunday, i decided to go to bastille day before work.  it was a french street festival with little boothes... mostly of food :)  i got myself 2 different pastries, a raspberry tarte and a blueberry/peach crumb tarte.  yum!  and then i most definitely had to try the french fry, considering that's where they originated, right??

raspberry tarte

blueberry/peach crumble

after work i went and met heather and christi at the shake shake and finally got my chocolate chip cookie custard...  worth the wait :)  christi got sunday's flavor, sweet corn and it mostly just tasted like butter custard... not a fan...
