The weekend started out on the gloomy side…

…but it improved. Drastically.

On Saturday I bopped around the city with Jessi. I threw on one of my favorite outfit as of late – cut offs with a tank top and kimono. Easy, cute, and comfortable.

We started the day with breakfast at the diner. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE diners?

Then we headed down to Big Gay Ice Cream Shop for what was supposedly (and truly) the best ice cream cone in the city.

We both got the famous “Salty Pimp,” which is vanilla ice cream injected with dulce de leche, coated with sea salt, and dipped in chocolate. It was unreal.

All of the cones/sundaes looked incredible!

Then we headed to Prospect Park for a birthday party.

Saturday night ended up being a rainy mess, so I had dinner with a friend in my ‘hood then called it a night.

On Sunday I bummed around for most of the day before heading out into what was probably the most gorgeous day of the weekend. I grabbed a quick smoothie…

…then headed to a church meeting in Tribeca. Afterward I headed back uptown to Union Square for a quick lunch at Whole Foods, followed by church.

Then on Sunday night Rachel and I went out to some fun Memorial Day parties around the city. I’m usually out of town for MDW, so it was fun to stick around and enjoy one of the things NYC does best – rooftop parties.

We rounded out the night with dinner at Tortilla Flats – a definite new favorite of mine. As if it weren’t festive enough, they had rounds of trivia every 20 minutes or so. How fun is that?!

Not to mention I’ve never met a Mexican meal I didn’t like.

On Monday I headed up to Central Park for a fun picnic with my friends/church crew. I barely ever make it up to the Park, so I really enjoyed embracing what “nature” NYC has to offer.

And then somewhere in the mix, I’ve been able to become sucked into my latest TV series addiction – The Tudors. It combines so many of my favorite things – 16th century England, royalty, romance, scandal, Henry Cavill…

Any other fans of The Tudors? What was a highlight of your weekend?
