It’s Holly

Sunday, April 1
I landed around 5PM. It took FOREVER to get through the taxi line, and then another forever to actually get to the sublet, where Julia met me and helped me carry my obscene amount of luggage into my new home for the next month in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s super nice. I was expecting to have to walk up the narrow staircase and see the old homeless man peeing on the steps like in Coming to America. It’s SO not like that! I’m near Times Square, and close to 9th Ave - also known as “Restaurant Row”, also known as “Holly’s most perfect place on earth”. Heck yes. Julia took me out to Wondee Siam for Thai. I just like saying the name. It was grrreat.

This morning, on my way to work, was my first official subway ride by myself. Not so bad. It’s only about 15 minutes from the sublet to work - not bad considering my commute is usually an hour at least. And my walk to the subway includes at least 3 starbucks’, so I have my choice. I’m at work now, incredibly busy (can’t you tell?).

I crossed one of my “Have to go here while i’m in NYC” places off my list at lunch today: S’Mac! Short for “Sarita’s Mac and Cheese”. It’s a macaroni and cheese restaurant. Heck yes! a whole restaurant dedicated to the fine art of macaroni and cheese.

I got the Goat Cheese with spinach and roasted garlic. Fantastical. Aaron got the Cajun - super good except i don’t like bell peppers. And you know how I feel about bell peppers. I know I said I wouldn’t go to the same place twice, but I’ll have to make an exception for this one.

More to come…
