Subway maintenance will be the death of us

Once again, we went out both nights over the weekend. Once again, we tried to take the subway home. Once again, we gave up and called a cab. For some reason, we can't seem to get it right! There is always maintenance going on during the weekends, which completely throws our plans off. Here's the usual sequence of events: we hopstop directions and write them down before leaving, they end up being wrong because a certain train isn't running/a track is being fixed, we ask a stranger where to go, they tell us the wrong directions, we get lost, we take a taxi. Better luck next time?

Anyways... this past weekend was really fun! Friday, we went to Greenwich Village and wandered around. After accidentally stopping at a gay bar where the bouncer told us we probably didn't want to be, we tried 2 more places and eventually ended up at Down the Hatch -- the place we went once last weekend.

Saturday during the day, Lauren and I went to get my eyebrows threaded. If you have never heard of this, look it up on YouTube! It's so nuts -- and hurts like crazy! Then we met our neighbor Catherine at Grimaldi's Pizzeria (voted the best pizza in NY by the Zagat guide). We had to wait in line for 30 minutes, but it was so worth it. Great news for us, it's only about a 10 minute walk! Afterwards we walked down to the Brooklyn Ice cream Factory under the Brooklyn Bridge. The ice cream was a little pricy but really good, and the view was amazinggg.

White pizza... so good.

Saturday night, we went to this place called Butter (apparently so cool that they go there on GossipGirl), for Lauren's friend Julia's birthday! Reasons why it was cool: we didn't have to wait in line, it was really fun, and we didn't have to pay for drinks (Julia had some connection to a promoter. Note to self: meet more promoters).

Positives: bangin pizza, Butter
Negatives: getting lost again
