As it wasn’t humid today, but still nice and warm we decided to get on the Long Island Railroad and head out to Long Beach, Long Island. The LIRR leaves from Atlantic Terminal – just a 15 minute walk from our place so we got up, got ready and headed out early. It is such…

#blogjune – Day 18 – AC/DC in ’09
Summer over here means a wicked concert schedule. From festivals to outdoor concerts there are always great concerts to experience. I realized I never blogged about our awesome night at AC/DC in 2009 at the Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. It was an epic night! We got tickets up the top of the grandstand for…
#blogjune – Day 17 – B. Cafe West
Before we headed to the Sunburnt Calf for the Camille & Michael’s going away party, we dropped into B. Cafe West for some dinner. It is just next to the Mermaid Inn and we intended to go there for dinner, but thought we’d give B Cafe a try – it wasn’t too bad! We shared…
#blogjune – Day 16 – Bye Cam!
When you move overseas on your own, a strange thing happens when it seems your friends end up feeling like your family. One of the first friends I made when I moved here was Camille and it was super fun as we worked together. I’ll never forget my first day and I was waiting for…
#blogjune – Day 15 – Album Art
I love iTunes and downloading songs and all but as a recovering CD buying addict (I would basically live at JB/Sanity/HMV) one thing that I miss is being able to really enjoy album artwork. I guess that really being able to appreciate album artwork also died a little bit when CDs took over. The size…

#blogjune – Day 13 – Upstate Summer
Summer in Upstate New York is just beautiful. Everything is so green and lush and at night cool breezes blow… unlike here in the city. While it still gets humid and warm up there… it is bearable because it is so relaxing. Back in the summer of 2009, we spent time visiting Dan and Paula…
#blogjune – Day 12 – Donny and Marie Madness!
My mum is a pretty big Donny and Marie fan. When Ma and Pa visited in 2009 and we went to Vegas, we naturally had to go to the Donny and Marie show at the Flamingo! It was one of the most fun nights ever. The stage show was really good and we had unbelievable…
#blogjune – Day 11 – 2011 Lebanese Food Festival
Last weekend, Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral in Brooklyn Heights held the Lebanese Food Festival again. Remember last year? Well this year was sooo much better because the humidity wasn’t 1000%! It was still warm but not too uncomfortable so we were able to walk the 30 minutes to Remsen Street. This year we went…
#blogjune – Day 10 – Mac Time!
I have been somewhat off the radar due to the fun and games of setting up my new Mac – I love setting up new computers.. so much fun! On Wednesday night I raced home in the 100F heat to make a batch of home made pesto for our Chicken pesto pizza dinner and to…
