Weekend in Newtown

Friday was a good day. Went with VK to Aquagrill in SoHo and had a fabulous salmon sandwich. The East Village is such a cool area and I will definitely explore it more.

After that, met up with the roomie and George to go to Newtown, the roomie’s hometown. Before going to Penn Station, we stopped at 1-800-Matress to check out some beds. We tested out different beds for about half an hour before making our purchases. I ended up going with the Nation’s Pride Legacy Plush. It is an incredibly comfortable bed, with just enough firmness and softness. Probably the best bed I’ve ever owned and it better damn well last me 10 years cuz it wasn’t cheap!

Then we hopped onto an hour and a half train-ride to Trenton. The roomie and George amused themselves with monkey talk and taking photos. The evening was nice and relaxing; home cooked meal (stir-fried noodles and stir fried rice), drink at Isaac Newtons, then renting a movie. We stayed up until 3 a.m. watching Harold and Kumar go to White Castle and various dating shows.




The next day was comprised of an IKEA and Target run. We managed to go to Pat’s for the best Philly cheesesteak and cheesefries I’ve had to date. George and I were invited to stay for an extra night and dinner out since it was the roomie’s dad’s birthday. It was a nice dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. After dinner, we went through the roomie’s old furniture and things and decided what to bring back to Brooklyn.

This morning we filled the car up to capacity with various items and I’ve spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning and putting them away. Now I’m waiting to meet up with Q2. We are probably going to the Sea for dinner and maybe stop somewhere for drinks after that. Should be fun.
