Sweet Ups

During my Friday night drunken stooper, I ended up in Brooklyn.

And I ended up here.

Sweet Ups (277 Graham Ave)

The funny part is that we meant to go to Royal Oak, which is actually owned by the same people,

but my sense of memory and direction failed me.

Oh well. Close enough.

It was pretty slammin' though and the people were rather good looking.

I'm sure I'll be back again soon.

After I actually make it to Royal Oak, that is.

Central Park Lovers

As I strolled through Central Park today on my way to and from the Met, 

I realized how much I love the lovers of the Park. 

I know you've seen them.

And yeah, you've probably been one of them too 

(because I know I have.)

But there is something to be said about these love birds:

how they are absolutely and completely oblivious to the fact that even though they are laying in the grass...every passer-by CAN STILL SEE THEM.

I love it.

It makes me laugh a lot.

However, the couples that I enjoy the most are the ones who engage in heavy petting in plain view. 

They are by far the more courageous of the Park lovers. 

And for that, I give you horn balls major snaps.

Azn

One of my really good friends left for Tokyo and Beijing/Shanghai yesterday 

and well, 

I'm super jealous.

I'm really fascinated by Japan and have always wanted to go. 

Another friend of mine, Caitlin, has been their all summer as a swim instructor to the kids on the Navy bases. 

I seriously considered going there for semester to study abroad, but unfortunately, things just didn't turn out. 

I really want to venture to China as well. 

I had a friend from high school who randomly went with her grandma a few years ago and the pictures she brought back were ridiculous. 

This is the Donghuamen Night Market in Beijing. 

They sell the strangest foods you can find on a skewer 

and it sounds like a total adventure to me!

Seahorse or scorpion, anyone? Haha!

The Dove Parlor

I really want to check this out...

Its called The Dove Parlor,

located on Thompson between W. 3rd and Bleecker Streets. 

I've read about it in a few places and it looks rather jazzy...

Maybe if I like it enough, it will become a staple hangout.

Oh boy, I can't wait!
