Settling into NYC

What a week it was...

On Monday, we headed to Vice Versa to unwind after work. The decor was fancy, the food was decent but all in all, we found it a little lacking and certainly wouldn't go out of our way to go there again. The potato gnocchi was solid though and my wife had the pumpkin ravioli which satisfied the Monday blues we were suffering.

Fast forwarding to Saturday - we headed to Union Square for the Union Square Greenmarket. We then took in some lunch at Cafe Medina on 5th and B'way. I had the Cuban sandwich, while my wife had the chicken quesadilla sandwich. They were both tasty but way too big to finish in one sitting.

Did some shopping on Fifth Avenue and then saw Dave Chappelle's Block Party, a film about the free block party Dave threw in Brooklyn back in 2004. It was a feel-good documentary/concert/comedy film. Dave, of course, steals the show with his humor but the musical performances were good too (The Roots, Kanye West, Common, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, The Fugees, etc.).

Later, we did some damage at The Container Store as we attempt to get our place together finally...
