We wandered down to the Lower East Side for a sort of bar crawl attempt, but mostly to stay out of the cold weather. It seems NYC has forgotten it was spring, soon to be summer, and is making an attempt at fall again.
We warmed ourselves up inside Arlene's Grocery for a few solid drinks. By the way, if you ever find yourself in there, take note of the sign next to the juke box telling you how to do the Heimlich maneuver. It looks more like Kama Sutra then safety precautions.
After Arlene's we walked down the street to Pink Pony. This restaurant is well known for being a celeb-siting-hotspot. It is very french in style with MJ playing from speakers hidden, behind the bookshelves, white table clothes, brown wooden chairs, and paintings of horses lining the walls. I split a delicious tarte tatin (apple tart) with Michele. I will make a point to return, before I leave, for the mouthwatering burgers and sandwiches I saw a nearby table devour. The only down side to Pink Pony is that it totally killed my buzz. A super cool and chill place, but probably not appropriate for my 'party' mode that was dropping butter, hiccuping, and falling asleep at the table. haha.
I was ready to head home, but the three other people in our group were ready for more. We ended up at a small Mexican joint I've never seen before. I was done drinking and eating at this point, but our world tour wasn't over for them. They had margaritas, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos before we were able to call it night. I came home exhausted and fell asleep watching Betty White on SNL. Definitely a good night.
