Jess and I met up with Eddie & Alessandro for brunch at Essex. The brunch specials there are $15 and include all you can drink bloody marys, mimosas or screwdrivers (and also coffee or soda, if you wish). Great deal, good food.

After brunch we went up to the Bronx to check out the zoo. I’ve been to quite a few zoos over the years and I think the Bronx Zoo falls somewhere in the middle. It’s, expectedly, not as nice as the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, but I thought it was better than the Honolulu Zoo that we visited in July. Maybe it ranks around the same as Milwaukee Zoo? In any case, it was a fun time and it was great to see Ale & Eddie.

Check out Jessica’s photos from the Bronx Zoo.

Matthew’s Birthday at Pop Burger

Pop Burger is a strange spot. It has a split personality. In the front it’s a fast food burger joint and in the back it’s a trendy lounge playing loud music and serving pricey martinis. Tonight I went in celebration of Matthew’s birthday. It’s strange going out with people these days knowing that it could be the last time you see them for a very long time. I don’t see Matthew & Alessandro & Eddie & their crew nearly as much as I should so I was glad to have the chance to see them at least one more time before I leave.

Also, Happy Birthday to my dad yesterday!

Every year Jeannette & Yvan have a Thanksgiving party. Last year it was post-Thanksgiving and I wasn’t able to attend because I was just returning from Florida. This year because of schedules, the party was pre-Thanksgiving and luckily I was able to make it. Jeannette & Yvan invited just a few people over… something like 25! Jeannette made a turkey and a few other dishes and everyone brought food over. There was so much to eat! I stuffed myself silly. My contribution to the spread was homemade pecan pie that I had made the night before. Everything was so yummy! My stomach is all stretched out and I’m prepped for next week when I have Thanksgiving with Kelly, Jeff & Sue in VA.

For Jessica’s 27th birthday we went to XR Bar and Gnocco. Somehow Jess got roped into the East coast birthday shot rule. It was the beginning of the end! Next thing you know I was having a contest with Matthew and Jeannette to see who had the longest tongue. I think the winner is obvious. (Settle down, mom! Matt & I don’t play for the same team!)
