Alexis and I caught the Megabus in DC at 3:30p on Friday afternoon, and arrived in NYC around 9. We were hungry and in need of some refreshing beverages so we found a tasty looking place in Chelsea and ate delicious, rich, creamy pasta dishes (I have never had such delicious gnocchi). Ross and Peter met up with us there and we ended up just staying for several hours, drinking beers and catching up - it was delightful! ($79.86)
Saturday morning, Peter and I went to Neptune Diner by his apartment in Queens ($2 for tip), and then that afternoon Peter, Alexis, Ross, Ross' sister Caitlin and I spent 3 or 4 lovely hours at the Astoria Beer Garden ($60 on pitchers and plates of keilbasa, red cabbage, pierogies and sauerkraut).
Peter and I took the train to the West Village ($10 added to Metrocard) and picked up some redbull and Sparks ($9) on the way to the main event of the evening, a party at Jimbo's apartment with 5 bands, the last of which was a Purple Rain cover band, led by Matt, aka the best Prince doppelganger ever. It was an INCREDIBLE performance. We stayed and danced and hung out on their roof deck until after 5am, and then Peter and I cabbed back to Queens and went to the Neptune Diner for some very much needed food ($24.65).
The next afternoon when I finally got out of bed, I got a bagel and coffee and snacks for the road ($12.35) and then Ross and Alexis picked me up from Peter's (yay for cars! No Megabus!). It was a very pleasant 4 hours back to DC, with a stop for Sbarro along the way ($6.25).
