Life is made for days like today- 72 degrees and sunny, just a beautiful and relaxing day. Spent the day with Michael and Teddy strolling around the West Village.
We had lunch at Son Cubano, a Cuban restaurant I've been wanting to try for awhile in the meatpacking district. We had mojitos and shared an appetizer of plantain cups filled with garlic crabmeat, which were amazing. For an entree, I shared the shrimp sandwich and the chicken sandwich with fried jalapeno with Michael. I think the shrimp one was better.
We then wandered around the West Village aimlessly, going down tiny side streets and
stopping at random sidewalk sales. We found an area near Barrow and Grove streets that really reminded me of Beacon Hill in Boston. Very old fashioned looking and quiet, lined with trees. We then walked over to the river, and found Pier 45 at Hudson River Park. It was beautiful being out by water with the breeze and fresh air. It's really an interesting place- such a cross section of people doing different and crazy things.
A very nice way to spend a lazy Saturday.
