Ellyn and I took a trip to the Lower East Side and the Bowery on Saturday. Our first stop — The Doughnut Plant.
We saw a few celebrities, a standard for any New York outing.
I always love walking through the different ethnic market districts in the city, and the weather was perfect as we walked through a Chinese shopping district. I liked the fresh ginger.
Taking advantage of our student discounts, we moseyed on over to the New Museum, where ellyn pretended to see something for the sake of this picture.
For the sake of this picture, she just sat and looked beautiful.
Sometimes, you just have to spray paint “Yoink” on a building.
After the New Museum, we swung around the block to one of my favorite galleries, Lehmann Maupin.
Before heading to a performance of Chris Scharb’s “Twilight and Ghost Stories” with some good friends, we had a beer or two at the little German bistro, Loreley. The place holds a special spot in my heart, as it’s right next door to the hotel I stayed at during my first visit to NYC back in college. I had just got back from Berlin before heading out to New York for a conference, and it seems God wanted me to know where I could get a true Hefeweizen then and six years down the line.
More to come concerning my new adventures at school, I’m just to tired to get into it all now.
