How could a girl say no to this:
He picked me up from work, told me to be dressed up. I was ball of nerves on the car ride to fells. We went to our favorite bar to take the edge off, got a front row parking space. And then it dawned on me that we were recreating our first date. As we turned the corner of the park, where we first kissed that fateful fall night he got down on a knee and asked me to be his wife.
THEN we were off to see the wizard. Toto stole the show.
The next morning I was whisked off to NYC in the always sexy megabus ... which of course decided to break down. Somehow we were half asleep and happy as hell as we waited on the side of the road for 2 hours just listening to our ipods and holding hands.
The delay set us back but we made it just under the wire to Le Poisson Rouge. It is this club on Bleeker street just south of NYU. We saw something called "Radio Happy Hour" with Craig Finn and Tad Kubler (of The Hold Steady) and Chuck Klosterman. It was a variety show where the put on an old timey radio show ("Stabbed in the Ascot") some musical performances (two acoustic Hold Steady Songs) a round table interview, and a quiz show (I wish Alex had gotten called). Even holding our bags it was awesome.
After that we grabbed some great mexican food and hopped on the subway. The upper west side is amazing, Alex's sister in-law grew up there, right near riverside parkway and the hudson. The view they have is beyond believable. We relaxed there and grabbed a nap. Next we caught a late night meal at a fancy Italian place named Cesca. It was a little much for us but still an interesting experience.

The next morning we woke up early and took a stroll through riverside park after saying hello to a statue of Eleanor Roosevelt. There were tons of dogs frolicking, sniffing and chasing. It was lovely. We stopped at a place called Popover for brunch. I had some sugary monstrosity and Alex had an omelet. Next we were off to MOMA to see some polish propaganda art. Then we strolled down to Rockefeller and saw the big tree being pieced together. Made a pit stop at Anthropologie & J-crew, and even tried on my first wedding dress.
We ended with a city walk, a slice, and a Papaya hot dog for me.
I feel so lucky.
