I’m generally not one to brag, but I have to say: My weekend was just plain awesome. It feels like I’m hitting my stride in my new city, and I couldn’t be happier with the experiences and memories I’m gaining.

Friday: SA-KE-BOMB!

• All You Can Eat Sushi + Sake @ Chinatown East – sushi was delicious, but the unlimited sake bombs reeeally got the night going
• One and One – a new favorite spot, it’s chill upstairs and a thumping club downstairs
• Dancing at Pianos – worth the $5 cover to go upstairs for better music and quicker service
• We hit another bar after that, but I don’t remember the name (sign of a good time)

Saturday: Low-Key Lounging

• Slept in for the first time in weeks and accomplished nothing – oddly OK with this
• Wharf in Murray Hill – visited our friend who works there for pre-gaming
• Brooklyn house party – celebrated friends who graduated from hair school, law school, design school and another who passed the NY State Bar

Sunday: Fun-Filled Finale

• Boozy brunch at The Guilty Goose in Chelsea – very strong mimosas alongside eggs benedict with a jalapeño hollandaise
• Stopped in to see Heroes & Villains at FIT – fascinating facts featured in fun and interesting exhibits
• Made our way home to watch SNL – Kristen Wiig’s return to the stage at 30 Rock did not disappoint
• Phone date with Magz – because she should be celebrated every day for what she put up with from us

Though it went by way too quickly, I had an absolute blast throughout this weekend. I can’t wait to enjoy more of this improved weather and share my finds with you guys. Cheers!
