Farewell, Team Dahl

To be honest, time has kind-of blurred past since Sunday, which I’m putting down to a big lack of sleep. Despite all our best intentions, we didn’t seem to get to bed until at least midnight each night. But you know what – it was all worth it!

After a very late start on Sunday, we all headed down to Union Square to eat noodles at Republic. We shopped the afternoon away, and then went to our favourite local Italian restaurant for Louisa’s birthday dinner.

Unfortunately, wifey and I had to work Monday and Tuesday, but we still managed to dine with Team Dahl at some of our favourite places, including our favourite sandwich bar Cosi, and the highlight – Wollensky Grill, where Steve enjoyed the “best steak he has ever eaten”.

We also managed to make it out to see the Yankee’s whip the LA Angels on Monday night. That’s only the second baseball game that I’ve seen while I’ve been here; and you know what – I quite enjoy it! While we were there, we also dined on some (overpriced) hotdogs, caught some (overpriced) peanuts, and froze our tongues on some (overpriced) dippin’ dots. But hey, it’s all part of the experience – and, we even got to cram into the subway on the way home! A perfect night!

We were very sad to see Team Dahl leave New York tonight, but of course we wish them all the best for the rest of their holiday (they’re now off to London to visit with Team BaM).

Feel free to wander over to the Photo Albums section and check out the Team Dahl album.

You forgot the (overpriced) cotton candy/fairy floss! Yes Louisa, it’s just like being home at the Ekka! Miss you guys already!

Hey Guys, thanks so much for having us. We had an absolute ball and love New York. We do apologise though for wearing you out – especially you Kristy, falling asleep at work and all :)

What are friends for :)
