Liza, Etc.

Last Thursday, Shawn and I had a rare opportunity to see Liza Minelli perform live in Coney Island, Brooklyn. She looked great, she sounded pretty good, but it's Liza...who cares about perfection. I believe she lost 26 pounds. :-) Thankfully, she performed hits such as "Cabaret" & "New York, New York" which brought the crowd to their feet. It was an amazing concert. Gays everywhere! :-) Coney Island has never been that gay. :-) Directly following, we went to the heart of Coney Island and decided to take a ride on the Cyclone roller coaster. WOW!!! I loved it. Nothing could be finer than finishing the evening with a hot dog from the original Nathans Hot Dog chain. :-)

Friday: After work, I spent a little time in Forest Hills then headed to NJ to help Shawn with his car situation. We ended up spontaneously eating at an all you can eat Brazilian restaurant in Hackensack. Talk about over eating...OY!!! Meat, meat and more meat! :-) And sushi! :-) It was delicious! We instantly went into a food coma and rushed home.

Saturday: Shawn worked until 3ish while I hung out with Shawn's family. Shawn's Dad and I took car of his car situation and met Shawn at the house. We then rushed off to Ruth's party near the George Washington Bridge in Washington Heights. The gathering was small, but so much fun. We ended up playing this party pleasing game called "in the manner of the adverb" which I loved. Great people, great food, great fun.

Sunday: Shawn & I explored the Flushing Meadows Queens Zoo in Corona Park. It was a quaint little zoo that took about an hour to walk through. Out of all the animals present my favorite was the Blue Billed Duck...SO ADORABLE! Afterwards, we went to dinner with Shawn's parents in NJ at this spectacular restaurant Le Jardin over looking NYC. The perfect ending of to the weekend.
