Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

On Monday the 22nd, I had the opportunity to see Someone Loves You Boris Yeltsin at Webster Hall. I received a press pass for this show because I wrote an article for the Washington Square News! My friend Maryam also went to this show and since she is besties with the band, we got to talk with them afterwards.

SAGE Awards Gala

On October 21, 2013 I had the pleasure of attending the SAGE Awards Gala at Gotham Hall! SAGE is an LGBT organization that seeks to improve the lives of LGBT adults. More can be read about the gala and the organization itself here: http://nyunews.com/2013/10/22/windsor/

My specific purpose for attending this gala was to take pictures of the award ceremony, and the overall event. While completing my duties for the Washington Square News, I also sampled a variety of cocktails and tasty hors d'oeuvres. The food was delicious, and the venue was absolutely stunning! During the entire process, I couldn't help but think that I would love to have my wedding reception at Gotham Hall...but I guess we'll have to see where the next ten years take me in terms of love/relationships.

Stay classy and fabulous,
Karen

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO: apple smoked bacon, crispy sage, shallot, mascarpone, herbs

JANE BURGER: cheddar, double smoked bacon, sautéed onion, pickled tomato, special sauce, fries

Stay hungry,

A Splash of Color

On the same day we went to the Met, October 19th, our friend Hannah from the University of Maryland visited us in the city! We got Argo Tea, relaxed at Washington Square Park and ate flower gelato from our favorite place, Amorino. It was so nice to be reunited with one of our close friends from high school. Can't wait to visit her in Maryland!

Metropolitan Mornings

On October 19, 2013, Stephanie, Matt and I traveled over 70 blocks uptown to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Stephanie has an upcoming term paper for her Middle East Cultures class, so we made a point to check out the Islamic art exhibit. It was really nice spending our morning perusing the art galleries and taking pictures. During my time at NYU, I definitely want to explore more exhibits and check out more museums!

Stay lovely,
Karen

Goorin Brother's Second Anniversary Party

On Friday the 18th, Karen and I attended the Goorin Brother's Second Anniversary Party. They're a really nice and fancy hat shop located in West Village. At the party, they served s'mores hand blown with a torch on the spot and fancy cocktails (rum, ginger beer and citrus accents).

Stay classy,
Stephanie
