well, eric was here this last weekend, from friday to sunday. oh, and did we have an awesome time. friday, of course, we went to the village to get some great indian food, then off to soho for drinks. madam x on houston st., funky and a little burlesque-y, fortunately has a smoking garden, allowing us to sit out back, drink, smoke, and be merry! we met up with an old orlando friend who, strangely enough, had known eric for even longer.
the next night, saturday, we started with some running around, then met up with eric’s chicago friend craig for dinner at this great restaurant in chelsea named cookshop. eric and i both enjoyed this lamb 3-way special they were having that night, along with an incredible bordeux– the ordering of which prompted the restaunt’s owner to run over to the table and serve it to us personally while recanting the story of how he came to posess this wine. apparently, while visiting a vinyard, he was brought out to a large tree in the middle of some huge field. at the foot of this tree were storm cellar doors that led down to a huge wine cellar underneath the tree, and that’s where he had gotten that wine. both the lamb and wine, thank goodness, were much better than the story.
after dinner, we went out to this season’s last Bank party at Element, courtesy of dj kevin graves. the upstairs party was sorta lame, so we hung out downstairs with all the hotties. awesome times and awesome photos were had by all (although the pics are still in my camera- will be posted soon)!
sunday we slept in. we did, fortunately, get to see a good bit of central park. and, although we didn’t get to go into the met (don’t ask), we did get to see it.
unfortunately, eric had to leave not too long after that. it was really too bad he couldn’t stay longer, but he promised that he’d be visiting again this summer. can’t wait!
