Watching Love Actually with roomies and others I love after our pre-Thanksgiving feast... oh goodness. I am full. Full from chicken, chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, buffalo wings, string bean casserole, yams, pumpkin cheesecake, and oh god I'm going to go into a food coma soon.
Anyway, this week-end was absolutely wonderful. Wonderful. I've missed having Dan round, the darling. We spent 5 hours total waiting in line for MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) and browsing through the entire collection. I believe I saw every single piece of art there. Towards the end, it was like, "I'm tired. Van Gogh's Starry Night? Okay. Moving on..."
We ate at Cafe 2 in MoMA. Tiny portions for the prices, but the tiramisu is definitely worth the 5 dollars. Definitely. They were heavier with the cream than with the liquor, which I enjoyed v. much. And I found out that the cafes and restaurant in MoMA are being run by Danny Meyer's company! Danny Meyer is the owner of Union Square Cafe, one of the best restaurants in the city.
Also saw one of my favorite artist's works.. well many of my favorite artists, but one of my newly favorite artists--Pierre Bonnard. My favorite work of his can be seen here. So we saw The Breakfast Room, and I was drawn to it immediately.
Shopped up around Midtown. Went into Cartier (for me) and H&M (for Dan). He tried on numerous shirts and blazers, but the Karl Lagerfeld one was the best fit, especially with pink shirt. Very Jude Law as Alfie-esque.
Can't wait to visit him in DC. And do more touristy things next he comes.
I'm sleppsy.
