Through my thick fog of a sugar coma, I managed to peel my eyes open and get out of bed at 9:30 a.m.
Dan and I had massage appointments at Corey's favorite Thai massage place on 5th Avenue through an inconspicuous door rendered nearly invisible by the fancy stores on either side. You stepped into the standard metal gray elevator, but when the doors opened we were in a lovely candle-lit spa--
a wonderful oasis amongst all the commotion in that part of town.
Our couple's massage was fantastic. I am also very bruised.
If you go, I recommend soft-medium firmness.
But that being said, I'm definitely going back!
We got home just in time to get ready to join everyone for brunch.
Angelina's of Paris has a New York location with a similar menu:
Orange juice, hot chocolate, a basket of croissants and pan de chocolat,
eggs benedict (or ham & egg croissant), and fruit or a crepe for dessert.
They don't take reservations, but we only had to wait 15 minutes.
So delicious!
Courtney, Michael, Rhonda and Bob were on one table in the back.
Me, Dan, Chris and Nick were on another.
Christopher had some great conversation questions at our table:
1) If you got a tattoo, what kind would you get and where?
2) What is one of your greatest fears?
Afterward we walked through the Bryant Park Christmas Market.
Bob, Rhonda & Becca ran into friends (the Carmel marching band was in the parade!)
so the boys stayed entertained watching the World Cup while waiting.
Tonight we did some Black Friday shopping in SoHo.
We started out all together in GU. But soon everyone was finding different stores that appealed to them.
Courtney and I had luck in GU and Everlane. And browsed a bookstore, vintage store and a couple others.
Dan, Nick, Chris and Michael found jackets and pants in Arcteryx, Nike and NorthFace.
Rhonda & Becca had fun in a vintage clothing store. And I think we lost Bob!
Our group went back uptown to drop off our bags at Courtney's apartment.
It was late -- like 9:00 already.
But the boys were dying to eat at Gaonnuri Korean BBQ all the way back downtown, so...
they went there and Courtney and I had Chinese at a local spot,
then kicked up our feet back at home and watched a Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie and ate ice cream and kettle corn. It was perfect.
(Earlier in the evening we got a glimpse of the New Year's Eve ball in Times Square!)
