First stop, a new york slice of pizza and that night we went to a cool wine bar with lovely rustic food. There were so many kids in Brooklyn and it was the very early hour of 7PM. I had a pancetta and tomato panini with lemon aioli. The city was in full summer mode (it was in the high 80s) and it was perfect. I was also able to connect with one of my college friends I met in London and we meandered around the streets of Brooklyn and stopped at a French bakery for a croissant and juice. I found myself drooling over the beautiful fruits at the groceries and how much cheaper things were.
We stayed the night our friends' tiny square foot apartment and we shared a bigger than average couch for bed. He isn't into sharing space anymore. I slept on the opposite end to him and I wake up to him pulling on my nose, having climbed up from his end to mine. He was wired and didn't get settled in until 10PM so we were a little sleepy the next day to say the least.
There are also happened to be a 5 boro bridge bike race Sunday morning so everything was on a hold as thousands of bikes raced ALL over the city. It made the travel to the baby shower in Long Island a bit more complicated but we made it. Brie's friends put on a great spread of food at the shower including the most amazing goat cheese, fig, and rosemary bruschetta. Can you tell I was into the eating part of the weekend? Our boy hasn't quite experienced that heat so he was a little sweat ball during the shower but still managed to win everyone's attention.

Mike and I most definitely need to go down there more often.
