The following
weekend we celebrated our anniversary with an NYC date. We went to see Waitress on Broadway (while Sara Bareilles and Jason Mraz were still in it- woot!) which was even
better than I thought it would be, followed by apps and cocktails at one of our
favorite restaurants, Dutch Fred’s.
Have I mentioned
that we really like to eat out? On Valentine’s Day we went to another favorite
restaurant in NYC, Becco. I was surprised by how uncrowded it was, but that
could be because our reservation was at 6. It had filled considerably by the time
we rolled ourselves out. I say it like that because one of their specials are 3
types of endless table-side pastas. They change daily, but for that day they
were a heart shaped beet-stuffed ravioli, a scallop scampi/linguini, and penne
in red sauce. It was amazeballs, as per usual.
I
was supposed to be spending the President’s Day weekend with my mom celebrating
her birthday, but she stood me up. So instead I cleaned out my closet, set up my new at-home beer tap, changed shower curtain and did
all the sheets/laundry, finished Fredrik Bachman's novella And Every Morning
the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer and the graphic novel Piper by Jay Asher,
checked out a new restaurant, finally watched Wonder (all the tears), and got
some Keebler cuds.
Last weekend was supposed to be chill, but on Friday Blue was offered
free tickets to the NY Rangers hockey game, and you don’t turn down free
tickets. The game was a bust (1-4 loss), but it was fun nonetheless. Saturday
was pretty gross out, but we needed some groceries and since we were out already, we decided what’s
better to do on a rainy day than use our Groupon at a local distillery and brewery?
On Sunday, we had brunch with some friends followed by an afternoon hanging out
with Blue’s niece who was spontaneously home from school.
I'm hoping for a chill March, besides of course St. Patrick's Day shenanigans.
What's new with you?
That is a busy month!! Endless pasta tableside? OMG
ReplyDeleteWaitress is getting ready to come here & I was wondering if it was any good
ReplyDeleteMy mom and sister saw Waitress in January and really loved it. I'm glad you had a nice anniversary and Valentine's Day outing. It sounds like your February was full of fun adventures - love it!! Yay for hockey, though sorry your team didn't win.

Sounds like it was a great month, and seeing Waitress sounds awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible month you had! Also the beet pasta at Becco sounds absolutely amazing. I love that you both have such an active social life, and that you prioritize time together doing all of the things that you love <3 Here's to an amazing March, and hope you're enjoying the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a busy but really fun & delicious month! Give me all the food!
ReplyDeleteThat is a busy month but sounds like a very fun one. We too love to eat out & now, I am hungry for beef ravioli. Tee hee!
ReplyDeleteoh man, i'd love to see Waitress!
ReplyDeleteendless pasta you say? i need to go there.
i have never been to a hockey game, that looks a lot of fun.
i am also hoping for a chill march besides st paddys celebrations. march is normally busy for us, but so far it's been quiet. fingers crossed lol
Wow, February really was a busy month for you! At least it was busy because you were out doing fun things and not because you had a bunch of obligations that weren't very fun at all.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to see Waitress, especially if Sara Bareilles was in it. I love her.
Endless table-side pastas? What? That sounds like my dream restaurant. Haha. Seriously, though, I'm going to have to make it a point to go there when I'm next in NYC (whenever that might be ... I don't go that often anymore now that I live in the Midwest).
