Seeing Old Friends!

This past week I was able to see some familiar faces - which is always fun. Last week I double-booked myself and had dinner with my high school and college friend, Kiersten, who has been living in NYC for 5 years now. She's a buyer for Saks and always has the best stories! She recently traveled to China for two weeks to see the Olympics in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and some other cities...what an awesome trip! Anyways, Kiersten and I decided to meet for dinner after work on Wednesday night. We went to PJ Clarks which is apparently a hopping hangout for happy hour among the Midtown workers. It was packed! But we got a table right away and had a great time catching up. After dinner I had made plans to meet my college friend and 'lil sis in my sorority, Michelle, out for dessert at Pinkberry - which I had been wanted to try! Michelle was visiting New York for the first time with her mom and aunt and we had made plans for awhile to meet up while she was here. Pinkberry was perfect since neither of us had been there - and it was delicious. If you're not familiar with Pinkberry it's this cute frozen yogurt place with not a lot of varieties of yogurt but lots of fun toppings. And I guess lots of celebrities hang out there! Here's a photo of me and Michelle at Pinkberry.

And last Saturday I saw another old college friend, Courtney, who actually lives in Connecticut now, just a half-hour out of the city. Courtney was coming into Manhattan that day, so we decided to have brunch together. Philip came too. It was so great to catch up and hear how she is doing, etc. I'm trying to convince her to move into the city now too. After brunch we met up with Courtney and some of her work friends out at a sports bar - Brother Jimmy's. It was a great Saturday of brunch, shopping and hanging out at the sports bar! Courtney and I plan to hang out soon again! Here's a photo of me, Courtney's work friend, Courtney, and her friend Katie.
