The Sister's Food Tour Part 2

Saturday morning started out with brunch at Pastis, located in the Meatpacking District. If I've learned anything after living in NYC it's that you should always get a reservation and always use the bathroom before you leave someplace. Brunching in this neighborhood negates the theory of reservations. It was 10am and there were lots of empty tables! We each ordered a different Eggs Benedict (my fave) and drank endless cups of coffee, served by the sweetest French lady. Aside from some great restaurants and upscale shopping the Meatpacking District is also at a great spot to pick up the Highline Park Trail. I love walking the Highline for it's great views of the city from a different perspective.

We made our way up to Central Park to see the sights and do some boating, my request of the wkd! We waited about an hour in line but the time passed quickly and the weather was lovely. I will admit, there was a bit of drama on my part about rowing the boat. I had a dream, and reality wasn't quite as magical...but it got there! First let me say, it's awkward trying to get off shore as you bump into other boats and are trying to manage these oars whose guidehooks aren't screwed on well...yeah, yeah, it sounds like a bunch of excuses instead of saying "I'm horrible at rowing", both are true. We finally got the hang of it and grabbed some fun shots. God Bless Jenelle for her patience and photography skills!

We weren't quite sure what we should do next so we grabbed some fresh roasted nuts to snack on and took the train down to West Village where we meandered through shops and Washington Square. It's a little blurry here what happened next, but I think it involved the decision to get MORE food and meet up with Jenn Brown. Always a good plan. Oh yeah, we had dinner reservations at Prune in the LES! It was quite a "derishous" dinner from a very unique menu! Good suggestion Emily. For some reason, we decided we must need more food so we headed to S'mac for some amazing Mac 'n Cheese to go, then to St.Mark's Place for bubble tea, and then to Pommes Frites for pommes frites (duh!), and then we tried walking home but it was just too much, so we caught a cab, a LADY cab driver at that, and then demanded we get out 4 blocks earlier so we could get some more Insomnia Cookies! We were women on a mission, and I think we succeeded...at eating well!

Sunday morning Jenelle flew back home, I dropped Em off at the Gallery Church and Jenn and I went to get our PALS renewal class (Pediatric Advanced Life Support). Sadly it was quite ugly/rainy this day and we met up with Em as a little cafe right by my apt, Cafe Delicattessan to come up with a rainy day plan. To be honest, I can't remember what we ended up doing, but it was fun and we made some great memories during our wkd together! Here are a few extra pics I forgot to slip in.
