brooklyn gal for a while

The big trip up north

So I did it! I (finally) made it Queens*. Last night TS and I checked out the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria. I must say this is a very chill spot and would love to head back with a group of drinkers (all Bostonians think of the magic of Harpoon festivals without the expense and line!).

Earlier that day we meandered around the UWS, checking out the ever-underconstruction St. John's Cathedral (very big, lots to still be done) and riverside park. We had such a good time that I am hoping to get back soon to further explore shops and all the wonderfully smelling dining options.**


*at least a part of Queens that wasnt Laguardia
** before moving to NYC I had composed a list of various cultural/dinning/shopping places that I wanted to check out. Sadly, one place that I finally got to yesturday was no longer the uber bath shop that daily washed it's sidewalk with scented oils, but rather a lighting/ceiling fan dealer. :(
