Weekend with the Bestie

December 16, 2012 - Pic #351


While roaming around waiting for Jess's train to arrive, we decided that Christmas has puked all over Penn Station. Lights and presents and decorations everywhere, pretty much just like the rest of the city. 
This Santa and reindeer lure folks into to a jolly-good time at a commuter's bar and restaurant. Santa may look content now, but I'm pretty sure he's not going to be able to fly his sleigh after he chugs that beer.

It's official, holiday craft markets are where EVERYONE goes on Saturdays in December. Trying to walk through the aisles at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market was pretty much the worst thing ever (except for walking around Rockefeller Plaza at night which was actually the worst thing ever). But, at least there were pretty and cute things to look at! I always love the puppet stands because my mom got me a puppet when I was a kid (Princess Roslyn). These folks look like they could be singing Christmas carols, except for the dude directly behind the chef, who may have had one too many eggnogs.

Yay... Jess came to visit! It's been way too long - since December 2010, in fact. We did our usual... lots of meal dates, flea markets, and movies, of course. Here we are on our way to see Silver Linings Playbook, which turned out to be fantastic. Nothing like a little dysfunctional love story to warm your heart at Christmas time.

Happy Birthday, America!

Had a lovely fourth atop the roof of a friend's apartment building on the West side . This Jell-O cake ALMOST made it the entire trek, but it was was so hot, that a few blocks from the apartment the pan started to leak red goo everywhere. Luckily it reformed in the fridge - not as pretty, but just as delicious.
