So my last day in NYC is bittersweet.  I got to do some shopping on St. Marks Street, with little luck — walking away with some sunglasses and a keychain.  However I did get to see the fabulous Linda Ong at Curley’s Lunch, and eat some of the most amazing curley fries covered in hot sauce and bleu cheese.

These are the remnants:

Oh, and this is the stupendous Linda Ong, who thinks she looks like a boy in this picture — but I am happy to have seen her and don’t agree whatsoever. Look at those ridiculously amazing eyebrows.

I did happen to find a pair of glasses that were simply too big for me, which I thought could never happen. No, I didn’t buy them, although I was tempted.

I also learned that espresso (or expresso as Becca calls it) is best when served Shakerato.  It makes an awesome mousse-like texture that Meg was super not a fan of.

After that, we went to a cute little wine bar that had 2-for-one ANY wines, and I found an amazing one called Torrontes: Avenue, Mendoza (Argentina 2007).

After that, we had great sushi at this place we think was called Sushi Park, or was bought by someone then names blablabla Sushi Park.   Then, in efforts to get my Brooklyn 4 Life badge on Foursquare, we went to another bar in Brooklyn (no badge as of yet), and met some chick from Ohio who LOVED my Barbie jacket — thus making me feel awesome as since I’ve been in NYC, I’ve felt a significant lack of style.

Also, on the way home from sushi, the girls let me take the lead in directing the cab — and it really made me feel like a Brooklyn Girl.  I didn’t even get us lost!

Goodbye NYC, hello Cleveland (tomorrow).  Can’t wait to make it back here.
