New York, New York

My New York leg was EPIC. It was a whirlwind visit that saw way too many ridiculous late nights/early mornings--but it was so worth it. 


It was incredible! I was able to spend a lot of quality time with family (especially prepping yet again an awesome thanksgiving dinner). Jenn and I are 5 for 5 with this stuff, and we're practically at a point where we can cook up a thanksgiving feast in our sleep. On top of all that, I was able to see so many of my NY buds (OT bros, old Hill'ers, TCHS alums, and more). NYC + Philly reminded me of how grateful I am of my amazing friends, and that though we're on opposite sides of the world (or at least I am) and doing our own thing, when we get together...its as if nothing's changed.


Photo dump!



Highlights:
-First night out with Ed and Kai at my new favorite NYC bar (so long as Jenn lives where she lives)
-Thanksgiving feast: 17 lb turkey, mashed potatoes, mac'n cheese, green bean casserole, stuffing, apple pie, pumpkin pie (more like pumpkin soup), and lots of wine and champagne (no port!--Edlyn's fault)
-The Slipper Room with BSingh and the TCHS gang
-Mac and Cheese (albeit a ridiculous amount) with JHuey =)
-Theta Tau Alumni Brunch! (best line: "...yes, he keeps the hat on" - Tozzo, and this is why we're bros)
-KBBQ and Karaoke
-5 AM MCD's run with Edison
-Watching Barca beat Real Madrid in "el clasico" with Tedde
-Going to MSG with Ed to watch Orlando destroy the Knicks
-Jennifer's stupid neighbor who (supposedly) fell asleep while cooking
-Jenn pretending she was sick to skip work and watch Indiana Jones at home with me
-Asparagus Pizza, Shake Shack and a midnight Chicken and Rice run with Dan (all in one crazy night my stomach has yet to forgive/thank(?) me for)
