Memorial Day Weekend

We have almost experience New York in every season of the year and by far spring is the best. The weather has been amazing which make life just that much more pleasant. It also makes you want to get out of our apartment and see New York. We didn't have anything really exciting planned for the weekend but I was proud of us because we went and did new things. Friday was a quiet day which was really nice because we were exhausted from being up all night with the barking dog. Ryan walked the dog to the office so we could hand the dog off to my boss and so Ryan and I got to go to lunch. We went to a really yummy inexpensive restaurant called Eatery. I got off of work early but we took it easy and watched old Scrubs episode.
Rusty (Ryan's little brother) loves the show but we haven't really watched it until we borrowed the first season and we are hooked. It is pretty funny. Or maybe we just really like it because we are starved for TV. We don't have a TV so sometime we miss watching it. We went to bed early on a Friday night the first time in a long time. Saturday morning we woke up and got a few little thing done like laundry, buy an air conditioner, and buy little thing that we needed like soap. Saturday night we went to a play that had only been open for a few weeks and now it is closing. It is call Coram Boy and it was amazing. It did really well in London but it is pretty dark so I guess the New York crowd didn't like it. We went with one of my work friends Morgan and one of her friends Josh. We had a really fun night. We hung out in Time Square after and man are there some crazy people out there. Sunday we went to church and relaxed the rest of the day. I loved knowing that I didn't have to go to work the next day. I think every weekend should be a three day weekend. My cousin Laurel came over for dinner and the start of a movie. Then we all started falling asleep. Monday we slept in which is always fun and had a fun day downtown. We walked around Soho which we really haven't done. I found a fabric store that I really wanted to visit called Purl Soho and it was as cute as it looks in the pictures. We wandered up to NYU area and walked around. Everyone was out and about because of the good weather and it was nice to just walk around. We walked through Washington Square Park and then hopped on the subway and headed up for another 15 blocks to the Flat Iron district.
We had a wonderful lunch at the Shake Shack. It is a Danny Meyer restaurant that serves hamburgers, hot dogs, and shakes. (He owns many of the best restaurant in New York.)

I have been wanting to go for a long time but it is always super busy. But when we walked by it wasn't to long of a line. The food was great and the best part is that it is really cheep for New York. It is on Madison Square Park so we sat outside under all the trees and it was wonderful.

After dinner we rode the bus all the way up Madison ave. We enjoy riding the bus because one the are cleaner and two we get to see the run streets of New York. It was a great weekend.
