What a wonderful Saturday in New York Saturday! It started out with another fantastic brunch at The Neptune Room on the upper west side, this time with Dane, Danni and Drew. We sipped out Mimosa's and enjoyed our round of creme brulee battered french toast. It is STILL the very best french toast I have eaten laid eyes on!
Dane was still craving something savoury, so after a short shop down Fifth Avenue we headed to a secret hidden burger place called the Burger Joint. Hidden away in an ultra swish hotel, down a flight of stairs you are almost transported to the mid-west in some cheap almost sleazy diner. There was no official sign boards with prices etc, it was all hand written in all the colours of the rainbow, and the queue went right out the door. I was a bit dubious as to whether this place would be any good, but it turned out to be one of the best burgers I have had while here. Not only cheap, but delicious too! We escaped the small claustrophobic room and opted to have lunch in Central Park.
Later in the afternoon Dane and Danni invited me to Jersey, to visit a couple that they have met through Julliard School. They have just recently moved across the water and invited us to come and see their new place. I almost decided not to go, but was so glad I made the effort, even after an already jam-packed day! The apartment was a warehouse style studio that was HUGE and it has SO much potential. Brent (a trumpet player) and his girlfriend Cathy were lovely and amazing hosts. They are both Australian so it was nice to be around true blues hehe. I almost got to meet another friend of D&D's, Evan who is a composer who also attends Julliard. These three belted out tunes on the grand piano for us, and Brent did some trumpet work for us. We headed up to the roof and continued a wonderful afternoon late into the night. With such wonderful people like this living in this amazing city, its hard to consider the idea of leaving so very soon!
