Last Saturday we celebrated Matt’s birthday at Ninth Ward. I was impressed for two reasons: I really like the bar – great crowd Jen, who’s been going to sleep around 9:30 due to the fact that she’s popping out a baby in just over 5 weeks, managed to stay up super late This New Orleans…

Automatic Slims
Once again, Saturday night was girls night. We went in with a plan: a little champy with Em and Shelby at their apartment and then out to explore the west side. Typically, Raychel and I are east side gals, but since the West Village is just a hop skip ad jump away from their Chelsea…

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Part II
I woke up on Saturday (day two in New Orleans) a little tired but still ready to go. I got dressed and met the group downstairs to head to the wedding jazz brunch. The brunch was held at The Court of Two Sisters, a beautiful spot. The all white and wrought iron restaurant had huge…

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Part I
Major plane probs caused me to arrive in New Orleans for Greg and Susan’s wedding 12 hours late, which meant that once I actually made it there last Friday morning, I was go go go. I’ll be recapping the ridiculously awesome wedding weekend day by day, starting here with day numero uno: I arrived at…

Call me a snob, but I’m rarely in the Upper West Side – UES all the way for me. Last night, however, was an exception as I went up to 81st and Amsterdam to meet Jared for a glass of wine. Typically, I wouldn’t be so accommodating, but Jared’s a newbie to the city so…

I almost forgot to blog about a cute little bar we went to on Friday night after the comedy show and dinner! That would have been a little sad because it was a good little find. With Susan’s direction, we left the West Village and took the E to TriBeCa to check out Bubble Lounge.…

I am happy to say that I crossed another restaurant off my list on Saturday night! I am always intrigued by a restaurant that specializes in something. I think it is because I like the idea that they are throwing themselves into something 100%, nothing half-assed about it. The latest restaurant to catch my eye…

Death & Company
Saturday was a great day, start to finish. Ess-a-Bagel was a smart way to start the day and fill up on carbs before heading to The Village Pourhouse for some day drinking while watching the Masters. Golf may not be the typical sport companion for day drinking, but we seemed to make it work. By the time the…

Saturday night, we headed to the LES to celebrate Matt’s last year in his 20s. Jen, ever the superior restaurant/location scout, chose Los Feliz as home to the festivities. I knew I was in for a big night when I grabbed what I thought was an extensive wine list to discover that it was a…
