BAM


My roommate had two tickets to attend a show at the BAM harvey theatre. BAM, is located in downtown Brooklyn, its the oldest operating performing arts center. The program we saw was called "The Tempest", it's a play by William Shakespeare. Yes, I must admit I was confused in the beginning of the play just because I never read nor heard about this particular play. As the play progressed it definitely got easier to understand what was going on. 

Theatre attire for the night:



Oversized Blazer: Express founded in the Thirft Store for $3 Dress: H&M Accessories: Forever21




After the play we had dinner with our significant others at WildWood BBQ. It was my first time there and it was not bad I mean nothing compares to down south BBQ but for New York it will do.

 

Yummy appe. the chipotle bbq wings was the best. 




My favorite place in Brooklyn has to be Brooklyn Promenade it has a breath-taking view of the city, the statue of libery and of course the brooklyn bridge.

good night

Feels like 10 degrees

Don't you hate when the weather report for today tells you that the temperature will be in the 20's but the wind is so windy that it feels like it's below 10. Being from Louisiana the winter in new york has been one of those challenging things my body has been trying to overcome. I would love to do things around the city but when it's extremely cold outside I just want to bundle up, drink a cup of tea, and stay indoors.

The bf decided since it was my day off that we should go do something. I really didn't feel like venturing out into the city so we went ahead and stayed in Brooklyn. We grabbed lunch at a Thai restaurant called "Song"" located in Park Slope area. It's a pretty hip place with great ambiance, clean line interior decor, and features a live d.j. The waitstaff is pretty attentive and the food was affordable, large portions, and food is fresh. It's definitely on my list of good eats. We ordered a small fried calamari appetizer, bf had pad see yu noodles, i had the pad thai, and for dessert we had fried banana roll with ice cream and strawberries.
