Dream Neighborhood- Greenwich Village

I finally stopped and got one of those delicious NYC street bagels that everyone talks about...and it definitely lived up to the hype.  Yummy!  

It must have been bagel day too because everyone in the office was eating one.  Heather was in today too which made it so much more fun.  Everyone morning we decide on a Pandora station and let it blast throughout the office and today we chose soft 90s...therefore, Backstreet Boys, Nsync, old school Britney Spears was sung a little too loudly by all.  I am pretty sure that we have waaaay too much fun in the office.  :)

I had checked the weather and there was incoming rain for the city, so I took my break early and literally ran up to West 34 at Harold Square to catch the subway down to Washington Square Park.  Allow me to first let you know that I had never done the subway by myself so I was a wee bit nervous.  I checked the map about 120398123 times to make sure I was getting on the right one.  I even had directions scribbled on the back of a receipt of the street address for the subway station in Greenwich in case I couldn't find my way back.  

I sat down and did my best to get the panicked look off my face.  "Act like you belong!" I kept telling myself.  Well, that worked all fine and dandy until I see the Washington Square platform zoom by.  I began to freak a little bit as my train goes flying past the platform and I pictured myself lost in Brooklyn...the next stop.  Well, I didnt realize that I was in the first train car and right after I had decided I was going to never make it back to work and that I was going to be lost in Brooklyn for the rest of my life....my train comes to an abrupt stop.  I had NO idea how long the platform was but thank the god above that the train did stop where I needed to get off.

I didn't have much time to enjoy the park because I only had an hour break.  The set of Step Up 3 was really neat...mostly because I had never seen a movie set.  I only had to ask for directions once on how to get back to the subway entrance and I was back at my desk before I knew it.  

A little later, Heather and I went down to the 3rd floor of our building which is a vintage clothing store and they were apparently having a great sale.  I have never been so overwhelmed in a clothing store...well, this hardly could be classified as a store seeing as there was no organization and no good way to get around but whatever.  It would have been a great place to buy a old 70s outfit for a party but what made me laugh was that people were actually in there buying legit everyday clothes.  It was fun to look around and the thing that really cracked me up was that all the purses were labeled and there was one section that was "90s rich old lady purses" and they were exactly what your grandmother had in the 90s!  haha.

We spent the afternoon getting the office cleaned up for a client meeting for a 40th Birthday that we are having at Studio 54 in July. 

OH! I had a very "Devil Wears Prada" moment today as I ran down 7th Avenue with a holder of 4 Starbucks coffee weaving in and out of people trying to get back to the office as quickly as possible.  Luckily I was returning to the coolest boss ever and not a crazy one like the movie. But I'm sure people could stamp me as an intern immediately. 

Wow, that was super long today but I figured I would give you a good amount since I won't be back in the office till Monday and I am going to my cousins graduation this weekend.  I won't bore you with details of my life that don't pertain to NYC anymore unless it is something really worth blogging about.   :)

Northern Love!
