A night out in West Village

Last weekend had a lot going on for me. Friday was my last day as a post doc and it was also time for Ammi to head back home. So in the evening we drove to Queens as Ammi was leaving on Sunday from Lukshi's place.It was so hard to say good bye, but that fact that we had guests for the weekend took my mind off of it for a while.

My sister-in-law Jenn and her fiance Jay were here on Saturday afternoon. We had planned a fun night out in the city. We parked in West Village and headed directly to Brooklyn for a the spectacular views from the Promenade. Our next stop was at the Ground Zero sight. We toured the preview center which showcased the building plans and served as a reminder to that horrific day. With Jay being a firefighter, it was especially meaningful to us.

Our dinner reservations was at Otto, a pizza restaurant. The atmosphere was vibrant and we all enjoyed some great thin crust pizza. After dinner, we walked through Washington Square, parts of NYU and MacDougal street before heading to the Comedy Cellar. This place seemed to be really popular with four shows on Saturday. I was glad that we thought ahead to make reservations. The MC was as good as we had remembered from our last visit and it was quite a versatile line up.. We had some drinks and dessert as there was a two item minimum. Hanging out in the Village was a really New York experience.

On Sunday we had brunch at the diner close by and said good bye to Jenn and Jay who were heading to a wedding in NJ.
