cali, one of my dearest (and oldest) friends from college, came for a little visit this week. hosting her was such a delight -- i can't believe it's been a YEAR since i last saw her! playtime with calvert was much-needed and greatly appreciated. we wasted no time at all and ate at one of my favorite restaurants (westville east) when she got into town on sunday and later followed it up with a tasty treat at sundaes & cones (a rousing game of window cherades may or may not have followed...).
we hit the beach on memorial day, which was out of this world. going to the beach in new york was a little difficult to wrap my mind around at first, but rockaway park was the jam. (i'm up for a repeat anytime this summer.) later that night we grabbed dinner at cafe habana -- this delicious quasi-secret on the corner of prince and elizabeth on the lower east side. it was there that we met up with some friends (old and new) and made our way to the xyz affair's last residency show at pianos. what. a. blast. seriously, i just love their new songs (get 'em for free on stereogum).
on tuesday, cali and i met up with some fellow athenians for thai at zabb city near my apartment. our ever-expanding group slid over to the redhead for some drinks, where we hooped (no pun intended) and hollered at the cleveland/orlando basketball game. wednesday night -- cali's last in le city -- we bit the bullet and got tickets to see fuerza bruta. UH-mazing. i don't even know where to begin ... think cirque du soleil meets wet techno dance party. get it? good.
well, i'm sad our time together was so short (four days is nothin' when you haven't seen each other in a year), but i had a phenomenal week. i'm glad i'm not the only one who appreciates a good night's rest, too ;) can't wait to see sweet calvert again in june!
