Fast food fun!

Jeremy — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:16:24 +0000

Yesterday Emily and I walked up to 23rd and 6th to go to Home Depot, but we had to nourish ourselves for the adventure. So where did we go? Two of the craziest (but best) places for food yet.

Pommes is a french fry store; they only sell fries. They have every kind of dipping sauce you can imagine, mango, peanut, pesto, and 30 other crazy sauces. Of course we loved these.

But we couldn’t stop there! While we were up in the area we had to go to the Shake Shack. This place always has a longggg line, but it was worth every minute. Emily and I played Boggle while we waited, and the shake and burgers were amazing!

Greatest American Dog spotting!

Emily and I got into a very fun show about dog training named Greatest American Dog. We couldn’t wait until the next episode was available to watch, and I got into this reality show more than any other. Not surprisingly because it was about dogs!! WOOF!

Ever since watching the show I have always been on the GAD watch, and whenever I saw a dog that was the same breed as any on the show I took a double take. There were at least 2 or 3 people who lived in Manhattan so I figured I would eventually see one. Well, the other weekend Emily and I ran into a couple! The Jack Russell is named Elvis and the little white dog is Preston. So fun!!!

Shea Stadium; we were really there!

The Braves managed to beat those Mets again today! Here are some choice photos from our outing on Saturday.

Shea Stadium

This is the last year Shea Stadium will be servicing the Mets, and I am pretty sure they are going to be tearing it down. Emily and I wanted to make sure we saw the place at least once before it was gone, and we went with many friends today. The Mets were hosting the underdog Braves, and the game was really very good.

Long story short there weren’t many runs, but the game was played well on both sides. Braves won, go Braves!

What hit me in about the 6th inning was how much my grandmother loved the Mets. It seemed like she would always have the game on, and of course it was usually at Shea Stadium. Another bit of time passing.

Sniffin good time

I know you are all dying for a followup to the Baldi Meets a Frenchie post. Well, maybe you aren’t but love these little guys so here is another picture. Emily was the photographer and she said there was a lot of sniffing going on. I’ll let you decide who is king of the sniff.

Veniero’s

Just around the corner from the apartment is a fun little pastry place named Veniero’s. They have more pastry than they know what to do with, and I have enjoyed every treat so far. Emily loves to get the Windmill cake; which is triple chocolate. She has always gotten this to-go, but last night we ate there. Little did she know that a full size piece of cake would be heading her way. It was huge!

Fortunately I got to eat what she didn’t want

Here is a picture of one display case:

Baldi meets a French Bulldog

Jeremy — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 19:49:51 +0000

You may or may not know that I love French Bulldogs. They are also known as Frenchies, but they are certainly silly looking little guys. They seem to love play more than their bigger cousin, the English Bulldog. Unfortunately these cute little guys often suffer from a number of inherited issues due to their selective breeding. For that reason I don’t condone breeding this dog, but I still love them anyway.

The black lab in the photo is Baldi, who belongs to David(my roommate). Baldi is 2 or 3 years old, and is a mix between Lab and Chow.

Pinball update

Jeremy — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 16:18:54 +0000

Last night Emily and I met up with Matt (my cuz!). We just had to have another shot at Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball. I was still struggling but I did manage to have one decent game, just over 15 million. Then Matt played and he crushed us all. These pics tell the whole story.

Officially in the East Village

Jeremy — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:35:43 +0000

After lots of crazy commutes and silly condo’ness, I am officially in NYC! This last weekend was a long one, but I moved everything out of my condo.

Ok. Short post. Pics later

Batman

I won’t give anything away for those who haven’t seen it. The movie was pretty good, and worth the wait to see in IMAX.
