beautiful sunshine weekend

this weekend temps were close to the 90's! and i loved it! now back to work locked inside :( here's some of the weekend's festivities:

friday night was dinner at veracruz 195 bedford between 6th and 7th 718.486.3333 pretty darn good tequilla shots and chicken enchiladas! then on to videology 308 bedford between s1st and 2nd streets 718.782.3468 this is a rad video store unlike b buster where they no longer even care to alphabetize or stock decent flicks! videology has any off the wall movie you can think of! you can rent for 2, 3 or 5 days and if you bring movies back before your alloted time they give you a credit(s). i rented about 4 flicks - 3 were subtitled! the one that wasn't was a recco from imbd based on me liking other flims i was looking up and well, lets just say i'll never take their recco again! it ended up basically being gay porn?! (mysterious skin was the title). needless to say my viewing partner was less than thrilled. i like the other i rented though one of which was called 'i've loved you so long' about a woman who comes out of prision after 15 years to live with her sister and their family. it was a nice film and i won't ruin it by telling you why she was in the big house.

saturday i went to brunch at what is now one of my fav spots in brooklyn- tom's diner 782 washington ave 718.636.9738 (yes like the song, in fact it was written there by that chick who's name escapes me at the moment) with alli and m. YUM on their waffles and their bacon and sausage! 

next was prospect park with my favorite man in the whole world:

(and m also :) it was an amazing day and tons of people were out enjoying as well. i gots a MEAN v neck tan/burn! then we ran around and then we laid around and then we met the 

awesome and hilarious j-pack (james and jared) for dinner at my moon. another one of my fav spots in williamsburg. good times and good food and a great bloody mary as well! they are also good at night-- not just at brunch :)

sunday we ate at a little cafe on dekalb ave that i happened upon called catherine's caffe 184 dekalb 718.858.3712 this spot is super cute and cafe-ie. i like it a lot! they have great food and an amazing outdoor patio with sun and a water fountain. m had an avocado melt and added ham (impressive if i did not tell him this before!) i had an egg white omelette called the meat lovers with ham, sausage and bacon! and some really good yogurt w granola and fresh fruit. then we ventured to the bronx! wave hill to be precise. wave hill is a historic home that is now owned by the city. it sits on the bank of the hudson river on amazing grounds with beautiful gardens, a gallery and cafe with nice benches all over the property and terraces etc... http://www.wavehill.org/home/ then we bummed around dumbo with big head and got a slice and some greta ice cream from the brooklyn ice cream factory (which i stood in line for 45 mins for). after all this i was pooped and we laid like broccoli and i watched half of 'the notebook' like a moron bc i cry every time! now its monday-- blah!
