I went up to Yonkers to stock up on some Irish groceries. The area's always been very Irish, but it's only recently started having Irish stores, etc. There's an area of about two blocks that is strictly Irish butcher shops, sweet shops, and pubs. Fantastic, really. Stocked up on bangers, rashers, and puddings, and then went to a deli for Club, red lemonade (which I haven't seen since Cork!), malt vinegar, jam (made in Dublin, obviously), and maltesers.
Then I met up with some friends from school for dinner; we went to this great burger place (no, really. It's called "The Burger Joint") in midtown which is hidden behind some curtains in the lobby of a ritzy hotel. Afterwards, we went shopping and got gelato on the Lower East Side, which is probably my favorite place in the city.
Here's the gelato place--they make everything onsite, which is cool. I can vouch that the Bailey's and the pumpkin gelato are brilliant.
...and this is just a really cool motorbike we saw
And, a typical snarky city billboard: "Why would you want to leave a city that has six professional sports teams, and also the Mets?"
