The LES

I decided that I didn't want to stay at home on Labor Day, so I gave Fifi a ring. We had ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, the best ice cream in New York. Afterwards we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. From there we took a short break and walked over to the Lower Eastside. The LES is everything you'd expect from New York City. The smell of Dominican food wafted through the air. Trendy bars and graffitied walls shared the same space. There was Spanish music playing and there was Puerto Ricans and Dominicans hanging outside amongst the hipsters and lesbians. It was so overwhelming. It was the New York of my imagination. After walking forever, we found a Dominican restaurant and had a really awesome meal. I was exhausted by the time I got home. Ah New York, you still amaze me.
