On Sunday, Julie had invited me to go to a concert at McCarren Park Pool to see TV on the Radio. I mentioned it to my friend Jessica (also from SCAD), and she was already planning on going. She asked me if I'd like to go to brunch beforehand, and I agreed. Natalie debated whether or not she'd like to go to the show, but said she'd join us for brunch. It ended up being Jessica, Natalie and I, and we met at a place Jessica recommended called Friend of a Farmer (Irving Pl, btwn 18 & 19th St). We took our time, and I enjoyed my granola, Natalie her egg whites, and Jessica her pumpkin pancakes. It was nice to chat and catch up, especially since Jessica and I have been trying to do so for a few months now.
Unfortunately, it was pouring out all morning, and didn't let up much while we ate, so we all decided to ditch the show. Jess headed back to her Brooklyn apartment, and Natalie and I decided to catch the Hairspray movie. It was cute (and $11), and we laughed a lot. I think now I'd like to see the original John Waters movie and the Broadway musical (sad that I haven't seen the movie, I know). We also saw some previews for great movies coming out this fall, so more rainy day weather entertainment will be coming our way.
After the movie, we got sucked into the indulgent, delectable world of Max Brenner's chocolate. It's a chocolate restaurant, and what we had for dinner consisted of a warm, gooey chocolate cake and chocolate pizza. We couldn't even finish these two small things, they were so rich.
We then wandered around Union Square until my friend Aaron (also from SCAD) gave me a call and met up with us there. We just hung out at a picnic table there, beside some chess players, and chatted for an hour or so, until we all parted ways.
