My Week As A "Nomad."

It's been a tough week. I have been living out of a suitcase and sleeping on friends couches. Not to mention, the list of places I have showered in the past week has hit an all time weird. My friend Elena and I were both obnoxiously displaced from hurricane Sandy. With all the stress and anxiety of finding a place to sleep, I still managed to have some fun in the city. For one, I went on a shopping spree and spent an entire paycheck on a dress. I'm beginning to think $8 an hour is not going to cut it. In addition, I drowned my woes in sweets (but that's not very out of the ordinary.) On Thursday night my friend Katherine and I went to this adorable Churreria on Mulberry Street. The churros were delicious and they came with an extremely yummy/necessary dipping chocolate. On Friday, me and a couple friends went to TAO. It was my first time there and I loved it. I am defiantly planning on taking a trip back. It took awhile for us to be seated but we were able to enjoy a few drinks at the bar. The Ruby Red Martinis are worth trying and the spring rolls were exceptionally good. I was almost unable to walk out of the restaurant because I was so full. The next night my friends and I ventured out to this adorable ice cream shop. Lulu's Apothecary is a small ice cream shop that specializes in dairy free ice cream. The staff was friendly and the ice cream was beyond delicious. All in all, despite having to travel around with a giant duffel bag, I had a pretty good weekend.
