What's New With Me: March

Usually I combine my "Currently" posts as "What's New With Me," but since I haven't really shared much lately, I'm going to recap what I was up to last month, via pics. The first one is actually from the last weekend in February. Blue got us tickets to see The Blue Man Group, but first we stopped at McSorley's Old Ale House, which is the oldest bar in NYC. Perhaps you've seen it in the opening of SNL?! Anyway, it's a grungy old bar with sawdust on the floor, and they only serve 2 beers- Light (McSorley’s Cream Stock Ale) and Dark (McSorley’s Famous Lager), and it's $5 for 2. It's fairly small and only picnic tables, and there were two guys behind the bar- one steaming glasses, and one slinging beer, non-stop. They also had food (bologna sandwich, anyone?!), but we didn't have any.

Then we headed to the show. Have you guys seen it before? I was always curious because they don't show much in the commercials, and no one would tell me what it was like. Basically, it's 3 guys in blue, and the show is like half comedy (but no words) and half music. And it's interactive. Oh, and they made us wear those paper ninja-esque headbands.

The following weekend was the Big Brew Festival with Blue and Michael. 4 hours of 200+ craft beer samples?! Yes please. We crapped out after about 3 hours. And for the record, no, we did not plan to match lol.

The following week, I had a snow day! This may be my favorite part of working at a school. I actually got two days off from work because the trains weren't running properly the next day either so I requested to work from home. I was totally going to blog about my day off, but it was Show Us Your Books day, so basically all I did was read those blog posts, read my book, eat junk food and drink lots of coffee.

Being that St. Patty's Day fell on a Friday, a bunch of us took off from work to celebrate early. We started with corned beef and cabbage at a friend's house before hitting the bars. I called for a group pic early in the day because I knew I'd forget later! 

Michael and a few of her friends even joined us for a few rounds at our last stop, where there was more corned beef and cabbage and bagpipes, which I forgot to snap a picture of. Oops. 

She sitting. I'm on my tippy toes and she's still almost the same height

On the very last day of the month, Blue and I finally made it to my favorite local BYOB restaurant. Mind you, we'd been trying to go since our anniversary in January, but it seems others have heard the rave reviews on our favorite hole-in-the-wall, so now we have to make reservations. Only took nearly 4 months to learn that lesson! One of my favorite things about this place is that they don't rush you. I'm a slow eater, and the place is small, so this is a big deal for me. They also have the best chicken parm I've ever put in my mouth, and I've tried a LOT of chicken parm as it is my favorite meal.

That about sums of my month! Lots of time spent with good friends eating good food. What's new with you lately? Linking up with Kristen and Gretch!
