Moving Day(s): Part Two

Saturday - Tuesday were fairly uneventful, so I won't bore you by going into much detail. We took another trip to IKEA, and have now put together 2 bookcases, a coffee table, a TV unit, an end table, 3 desks, 2 office chairs, a dresser, and a bed frame. The rest of our time was mostly spent hunting for other needed items, hanging stuff, grocery shopping, unpacking, and eating.

Here are the highlights:

  • We ate...
    • Burgers at the always amazing Shake Shack on E 86th between Lexington & 3rd
    • The best fettuccine alfredo and penne alla vodka we've ever had at Patsy's Pizzeria on E 60th & 3rd
    • A yummy lamb burger with chunky salsa & brie cheese at Session House on 2nd Ave between 53rd & 54th
    • Chorizo, black sausage, pork skin, corn patties, guacamole, chicken & some seriously awesome salsa at the Columbian eatery, Basurero, on Steinway in Astoria
  • We saw Beasts of the Southern Wild at Clearview Cinemas on 1st & 62nd (I absolutely loved it, while Jonnie dubbed it below average...but what does he know?)
  • We shopped at a three story Bed Bath & Beyond that had escalators for shopping carts
  • We spotted the tramway that travels between 2nd Ave in Manhattan and Roosevelt Island (it looks awesome and we'll be on it soon!)
We'll be spending the rest of the day running more errands, hanging more clothes, doing more cleaning, and figuring out how to spend the next few days (I start my job a week from today)!

  1. So jealous of all the amazing food you guys will get to experience - FL food will never seem the same to you again :(

    The previews of the film looked great. :)

    I saw the tramway on a recent episiode of White Collar - it does look very neat.

    Continuing to love your blog :)
