Hot, hot, hotter. Highlights from a week in the city

Just before we got in trouble for taking pictures at the play

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

Close but yet so far. Actually not close at all.

Hot Yoga in Bryant Park
Friend, houseguest, personal assistant, dog walker. Hello my name is Erin. I have been lucky enough to be a guest of the Edwards' household for one week today. There have been many highs during this visit, most notably the extreme heat. But despite the hot, humid weather, fun times have been had by all. If you are lucky enough to know Christie and Raman, then you know that they know how to "do work" in any city they call home. NYC is no exception. What started as a classy evening of theater for Christie and I on my first night in town, ended after 3am in a crowded private room in a karaoke Bar. And yes, it is always a good idea to order 2 bottles of sake at 2am.  Sorry Dad, you were wrong when you said nothing good happens after midnight. In NYC, nothing good happens before midnight. Being the old woman that I am now, I was nervous when Saturday night's plan was a rooftop bar crawl. However it was shortly after walking into the greatest beer garden ever, that all memories of that mornings hangover were forgotten. Especially after witnessing Christie's attempt to chug a beer in under 30 seconds.  Let's just say that Raman, circa 2001 could have given her a run for her money. However we did return to the scene of the "chugging" later during the week when we were happy to find out that the Lobster Roll truck we were coveting, just happened to be at the very same beer garden! Wednesday's are apparently Christie's day, because she impressed us with finishing half a beer in 7 seconds.  Just when I thought i'd seen the best of the best of Manhattan's outdoor drinking establishments, we walk onto the Fry Pan. The Fry Pan is a boat turned into a bar docked in the Hudson River . Beers on a boat. Enough said.  I don't want you all to think that all we did was drink while I was here. Christie and I also braved the heat and did yoga with hundreds of other people in Bryant park. Christie will be adding a post about our trip to the Hamptons. So if you don't have a trip planned out to see them yet, get on it!

  1. Excellent guest post, Miss Rossello! Your concrete jungle pic looks like a Bud Light commercial. I hope you were wise enough to get some proceeds for your product placement and advertising of that fine, fine beverage.
