I visited a friend from Ohio Wesleyan whom I hadn't seen for far too long. We met up Friday night after she found me in the Port Authority. We had a late dinner at Brasserie Les Halles, which is where Anthony Bourdain (of Travel Channel's No Reservations) was a chef for some time. Overall, I was impressed, but my stomach couldn't take anything too risky in French cuisine because it was around 10 p.m. by the time we started eating. I was also annoyed that my carry-out did not include my delicious French fries.
Saturday night we went out to a restaurant in Queens called Cheburechnaya. The food was Middle Eastern, Russian, and delicious. After that I got dragged to a Korean karaoke facility. That was interesting to say the least.
Much of the trip was spent discussing our past adventures and the possibilities for the upcoming trip to Chile (which I just booked my flight for a few days ago!). By some stroke of luck I encountered a friend from middle school that goes to Lehigh waiting in the bus line to get back to the Lehigh Valley. He kindly let me in line with him, otherwise I would have had to wait for the next bus.
Overall, it was a good trip that involved a lot of eating.
I mention that I am in Ocean City only so I can show this picture. I love it when it snows here. There is no movement except for the flurries and the bay. A group of ducks goes by once in a while. I remember more dramatic scenes with the bay frozen from when I was little.
