Saturday Matt and I went to Tom's for brunch. Oh, also, it was beautiful outside. After brunch, Matt went to his piano lesson and I went to the Greenmarket at Grand Army
Plaza and totally blissed out. There were fabulous looking things everywhere! I managed to get away only having bought two peppers, a bundle of asparagus, and some fresh cheese, and it made me so excited to start my CSA this summer. I recently decided to get an egg share too, so I'll be getting veggies, fruit, and eggs starting in just a few weeks. Came home and did some emailing, then Matt and I set out to try and get a bike for me. We planned to take the train to DUMBO, which is the part of Brooklyn under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Only, we got a stop away and it turned out the train wasn't going there, so we got out and walked. Took a while, but we found the bike place, only it turned out they didn't really have what I wanted. Went t
o a design store around the corner and got a birthday present for Hannah, then we walked over to Fulton Landing by the Brooklyn Bridge. It's the 125th birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge, and they have this crazy "telectroscope" set up that supposedly lets you look through a long-lost tunnel between Brooklyn and London (it's actually a live feed through the internet). Lots of people there to wave to the Brits. We got pretzels, walked on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, and took the train back to my house. Vegged for a bit, then went to Ben and Atsuko's for the First Official Summer BBQ. A ton of people were there, and there was SO much food. I took on the job of Vegetable Griller and made some excellent veggies, if I do say so myself. A fun, filling day.
