I spent last weekend in New York City. My Reading and Writing Center Peer Tutors presented their community service project at a regional panel, and they were terrific.
Being in New York was terrific, too. I stayed in the Lower East Side and enjoyed every second. I had a bit of time to wander about. When I peeked in the door of Bisous, Ciao, I couldn’t resist picking up some macarons. The jasmine green tea cookie was my favorite. While these macarons were not as good Laduree’s, they were still delightful.
My hotel was a short walk away from MZ Wallace, which allowed me to try on all of the bags that I’ve long admired online. A tiny bag–unusual for me–came home with me.
A bigger pleasure was going to see Seminar, starting Jeff Goldblum. It’s a smart play, one that MFA grads and academics will find humorous and maybe a little too true.
One of my favorite little pleasures over the weekend, though, was an egg and cheese on a roll from Amona Deli. Ever since I posted about NY egg sandwiches, I’ve been craving one. Amona’s was everything I’d wanted.
What little pleasures have you been enjoying?
That tiny bag is adorable. Very sharp.
Little pleasures:
Lemon poppyseed bread
wooden circular needles
watched Rainman, because I had the time and it was on TV
took a big nap yesterday and today
I saw Jeff Goldblum on The View talking about that play and I thought it sounded wonderful. I’m so glad you had a nice trip!
My little pleasures have been numerous this week, because we went back to San Francisco for G’s spring break. Things like finding the Yoda statue in the Presidio, buying G 3 T-shirts for $10 at the wharf, driving down Lombard St, the owner of our favorite restaurant remembering us after 8 years, seeing a sea lion swim out to sea from the pedestrian walkway on the Golden Gate Bridge, and dolphins off the bow of our friends’ sailboat in San Francisco Bay. It was a week full of so many moments that made it our best family vacation ever!
