One of the fun things about NYC is all the novelty restaurants. I met Kristin down in the East Village on Friday night to eat at S’mac. Serving, what else? Mac & Cheese! They had several different varieties. The one I got was filled with brie, nutmeg, fig, rosemary, etc… It was amazing. The menu said it was addictive and it truly was…there was some flavor in it that I couldn’t identify (possibly the nutmeg) that made it sooo good and kept me eating and eating! It was great to catch up with Kristin one-on-one as well. I think that’s happened only one other time since I left the Journey—we’re usually group brunching together. She is definitely one of my favorite people in NYC. Very real, sweet, mature, thoughtful, etc…
Otherwise, I didn’t do too much else exciting over the weekend. My parent’s mutual cousin (I mentioned her in my Christmas blog, here), was in town with her husband so I met them for dinner on Saturday night. They were staying just around the corner from me, so we ate in my neighborhood at Pietresanta—the pumpkin ravioli place. It was good again, but the service was REALLY slow and I was kind of annoyed at that.
Sunday, I did some shopping. I had to have a white dress shirt for an event on Monday night and I didn’t own one! I also headed out to Brooklyn to check out a children’s store I had read about and I needed another baby gift for a friend. The store was really cute—didn’t have as many clothes as I had imagined, but what they did have was cute. They also had some really cool looking toys that I’ll have to keep in mind for future gifts for Ryder. It was a beautiful day, so I took a stroll along the Promenade and saw 3 bride & grooms out there taking wedding pictures.
I’ve done a couple of fun, unusual things this week…will blog about that when I have time to upload some pictures to go along with it!

When we come, I only want to eat at novelty places! :) NOTHING that I can find here! What fun. The kids would LOVE S'mac.
And did you forget - you have another nephew to buy toys for now! I'm sure you didn't forget, you were just thinking he would be too young for awhile to play with toys, right Aunt Susan?
Of course, I didn't forget baby Beau!! That was my exact thought...he's not quite ready for the cool toys. It's funny that you called me on that though because I almost added him in for fear that it would look like I was neglecting him. I do have to admit, though, I am a bit partial to Ryder at this point-- surely only because I haven't met Beau yet. I'm sure everything will even out in about a week when I have that baby in my arms!!
