Return to NYC -- featuring a New Haiku!

The week is officially over. It’s Saturday morning and I’m writing from the laundry room in the basement of my building. Having started four loads, I then walked over to the dry cleaner not five doors from my building only to find out that they, in fact, are a dry cleaner/wash & fold – dagnabbit! Not only that, but only $5/lb. and $0.70 for each pound thereafter. Colleagues Kirk and Liberty advised me to find the nearest W&F and now I have. Alas! It’s been a quick week here in New York considering that I’ve only been in town since Wednesday evening. Even so, a couple of great events to report before I go into detail about New Orleans and my week there playing volleyball and with friends.

I enjoyed two LONG work days this week, but outstanding rewards after. Thursday night, Kirk, Liberty and I went to Sushi Samba and enjoyed an amazing meal. I also learned that Kirk is a pretty stellar sushi orderer and that I enjoy mango and strawberry adult delights, including Nina Fresa and Mangomenta.

Last night, after another long day, Liberty and I met up with a friend of hers from SanFrancisco who’s temporarily living here in New York. We started the evening with drinks at Country in The Carlton Hotel, then made our way to the East Village to Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction. That turned into more drinks and tequila shots over Baked Macaroni & Cheese and Meatloaf Sliders. The night ended with more adult beverages and Petrone shots at The Duplex in the West Village – one of New York’s most celebrated piano bars at which we enjoyed sing-a-longs to Piano Man, Son of a Preacher Man, Natural Woman, American Pie, and more. A total BLAST.

Tonight, I’m heading out with some friends to celebrate Michele Little’s 30th birthday party – will also be a fun night. Welcome back to New York already!
