1) Weekend Trip: Friday night train up, crashed on UWS at H's law school apartment. Gorgeous cool Saturday: walk in Central Park with N, then got a beer with B and his girlfriend in Flatiron, followed by dinner at Hill Country, a seemingly authentic Texas BBQ joint. Dashed up to the UWS to pick-up belongings for a rooftop party hosted by LLS, my former roommate from the Loisaida days (for which this blog is named). Slept in Brooklyn and awoke to a rainy day... spent the day with my parents, with whom I took a walk to Avenue J. F train back to manhattan, Amtrak back to DC for 11:30pm arrival.
2) Work Trip on Thursday: stayed at the Marriot across from the WFC and site of the former WTC. Was the most beautiful day i've had in New York in a long time: clear blue skies, piercing sunlight, strong breeze, locals dressed to kill, picturesque. Dinner with one of my brothers near Grand Central followed by a long walk back to hotel, with the obligatory stop in SoHo to pick-up E.
Both trips make the weekend-bomb-scare all the more surreal. Muggy weekend in DC. Yuck.
