I'm on a boat

It has been my dream since April, yeah a long time I know, to ride the boats at the boathouse in Central Park however I resisted temptation because I knew this was something I wanted to do with my travel buddy Stacey! So the first day in central park had started off grey and I saw the rental shack was closed and i thought noooo the season is over I almost fell to my knees and cried in pain alas my dream of breakfast on a boat was shattered...or was it, I quickly asked the boathouse restaurant if they knew what the dealio was as it turns out they go by the first weather forecast of the day and seeing as it was grey they were shut so we came back on day 2 and we couldn't have painted a better day if we tried!

Granola, muesli, yogurt, OJ and fresh berries we did it up right. Turns out I have mad rowing skills like I shocked myself seeing as you have to sit backwards and be navigated by someone facing you and things can get a little hectic out there. So much fun I 100 bajillion % recommend this ps fellas this would hella impress a lady friend just sayin and it's $12 for an hr with a $20 deposit so if you don't like her that much make her row!

Then we headed to my favourite curry buffet brick lane curry on East 6th st and 2nd ave, $10 all you can eat buffet get amongst it!

After that we mosied down to soho to shop and then we headed to Chelsea to see the famous comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade for $5 we saw 2, 30-45min shows the first one was a monologue a true monologue about a man who graffitied moustaches on posters all over NYC and his arrest, friggin hilarious the second show was entitled lonely people and they were a sketch comedy trio who did all these skits about their lonely lives, they were so awesome!!! Unlike other comedy clubs in NY there was no sneaky food/drink order minimum just $5 to enter I can highly recommend!

Then believe it or not it was time for dinner! So we hit up this lovely Italian super grocery/restaurant complex called Eataly, could not think of a more perfect name. So basically it is a huge fancy supermarket with an individual deli section for everything ie. coffee, gelato, desserts, meat, cheese with 5 different restaurants specialising in a specific cuisine or product ie. seafood, pasta & pizza, meat & brewery, wine bar etc..

So we decided on the meat/brewery which was pucking amazing! And just so happened to be on a roof which is our new favourite place. We ordered the pork belly and rack of lamb with a side of smashed potatoes and brussel sprouts seriously melt in your mouth fantastico! Definitely hit this up on your way to the flatiron building even to just look around the space is magnificent.
