it’s a nice little coffee shop on park ave between 24th and 25th. there’s nothing super duper special about it. they don’t make coffee blends from all around the world or have fancy decor… but they make pretty good standard coffee. their pastrys aren’t too bad either. they have free wifi (so a good place to sit down and do some work). and it’s a good place just to hang out w/ friends.

this past sunday my friend maria came to visit NY. (she’s the one who actually introduced me to this place). we went to hang out there w/ some friends after church. not much to say. just some good times. some pictures below.

the rest of the pics are in flickr.

baby nico and pong

this is my friend peter and his 6-month-old nicholas. peter’s got to be one of my favorite people in the world. every now and then i get a chance to visit him and see how much baby nico has grown. i was there when he was born and every time i go see nico, he gets so big… and has awesomer hair. this picture is from this past tuesday.

last week

November 4, 2008, 8:19 pm

a number of things happened last week that i’ve been meaning to post about… but never got around to (except for tony’s marvin the martian costume).

one was that i got to meet up w/ my HS friend, mei. i think mei and i catch up maybe…. twice a year or so. but every time its always good even tho i was dead tired on tuesday. she’s a friend of mine who has been thru a lot and hasn’t quite taken the “normal” 4 yr HS, 4 yr college, working adult schedule. but each time i meet with her its good to see that she’s doing well. this time especially…. perhaps because it’s been a long while since i’ve seen her last. we got a chance to go to this tea place near st marks that has like tea for super expensive. but they had matcha (a frothy green tea), which i haven’t had since my 06 trip to japan. i took some pics.
