Oh, where to begin. How about I start with my birthday. It started off with a few hours of work and then walking around and exploring this amazing city with my roommate, Ari, and my friend Nic who was visiting for the weekend. Dinner at Cafe Mogador, really good, then the fun and sometimes dangerous birthday night out… I had a few drinks, a couple shots, yadda yadda yadda, we went to central park the next day.

Central Park is incredible. Hard to believe you’re really in New York, and lacks the weird homeless people sleeping in the bushes that we know and love in Golden Gate Park. Oh, and dogs aren’t allowed to crap everywhere.

Saturday night, more of the same, and Sunday consisted of a nice stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge with Chaya, Sam and Nic. I can’t say I was to excited about that activity of the day initially, but once we were there, it was awesome:

The weekend ended with a horrible 49ers game, horrible, and a little Curb Your Enthusiasm, but what I have failed to mention is the highlight of the weekend. Birthday? Fun, but not the highlight. Hanging out with a bunch of close friends? Fun, nostalgic, but sorry guys, not the highlight. Chicken and lamb over rice at 3:30 in the morning Saturday night or the unbelievable French toast I had this morning? Delicious, but again, not the highlight.

Well, I know the suspense is killing you, so I’ll come out and say it. The highlight of my birthday weekend was the CUBS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!! Nothing like a little October baseball… You gotta love it!
