A nice Saturday

We woke up early, got on bikes and met a short stack of friends (also on bikes) at the Brooklyn Bridge. Edie & I cruised up to Central Park with B and the gang via the Summer Streets event, and arrived around 9:30 to lay out a nice picnic on the hill overlooking the toy-boat pond north of 72nd. The nice thing about arriving that early is it's sunny and warm, but not crowded so we could get a prime location and just...relax.

After eating too many donuts, we rolled back down casually home. A nap, an errand to restock sundries, then home to wile the day away with the ladies.

BREAKFAST 1: 7am, organic cornflakes with organic dead milk, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


BREAKFAST 2: 9:45am, 1/2 a bagel with cream cheese, 3 donuts, seltzer, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 2:30pm, lobster roll, lame ice cream sandwich, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
I visited the Hester Street Fair in the 'hood while running some chores. They have some interesting, progressive food vendors that I want to support, but they don't have it on lock down yet. The lobster roll was pretty great, but at $14 for 4oz of meat on a meager (but well toasted & buttered) potato roll is a bit pricey. They do a 2oz half for $8, but it's too small. They should have a third, more expensive option that make the first two seem cheap by comparison -- it doesn't need to sell, but it's presence may reduce the sticker shock of the other two options. "Hey, I may be paying $14 for a lobster roll, but at least it ain't $25!) I had an ice cream sandwich of salted caramel ice cream wedged between two thin slabs of brownie -- the brownie was too hard, the ice cream was too soft, and both had nice but under-concentrated flavors.

DINNER: 6:45pm, pakora, shrimp saag with basmanti rice, roti bread, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
