Little apple
We’re…back!
Our apologies for not posting sooner, but Mr. B and we didn’t arrive home until late last night. We took the 8pm flight out of Wichita because Mr. United wanted us to pay $500 each in order to take the 5pm flight back to Denver.
Do wha?
Hell-to-the-no. Even though that is annoying and ridiculous, it actually worked out in our favor because we got to spend more time with Chuck and Susie.
Love our in-laws.
Anyways, we had a fantastic weekend back in the Little Apple. We think a reliable way to explain our little adventure to Manhappiness is in three categories:
1. Food
2. Football
3. Family
These may be our top favorite “F” words. We would use our other favorite, but we try to keep this blog PG-13 rated.
Okay, on with the recap.
First up, Food.
Holy bananas. This weekend we were all sorts of naughty. From the time we landed, until our flight took off last night, we ate our body weight in food. And it was F-A-N-T-A-S-T-we-C.
It all started on Friday night when Chuck, Susie, Mr. B and we arrived in Manhattan and had dinner at Harry’s.
If you have not been to Harry’s, GO. No really. Get in your car right now, or book a flight because this restaurant is off the charts. From the atmosphere to customer service to the food, it’s all memorable.
We give it our JAZZ hands approval.
We started with a glass of red wine and we all shared some appetizers: Bruschetta, Chrorizo Stuffed Dates (absolutely major), Shrimp and Crab Chile Relleno. For our entree, we had the Arctic Char stuffed with Crab (outrageous!). Saturday was game day so the tailgate was full of savory food: Prime rib sandwiches, Mac and Cheese, and Brownies…plus, beer. How did we not slip into a food coma? Geesh. After the game we headed back to Harry’s for dinner. This time we had Ashley and Josh join Chuck, Susie, Mr. B and we for dinner. They live in Wichita and were up for the game. We started with a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. Hello, heaven. Probably our favorite drink. We shared the same appetizers as on Friday night, but threw in the Pork Belly and Eggs as well. We think this is the point were our eyes glazed over. We had the Kobe Flat Iron Steak as our entree. It was evenly cooked, and so juicy. Bravo! (Please excuse our dark photos!) On Sunday, Mr. B and we both woke up and asked ourselves, what happened? We are pretty sure we had a food hangover. We figured the only way “to move” all that food was to drink coffee. Hey, don’t laugh. We were dying. We hit up Radina’s for some coffee to go because we weren’t having brunch until later. In all honesty, it felt good to actually work up an appetite. Around noon we headed to CoCo Bolo’s to meet Ella and Andrea for brunch. We hadn’t been to Bolo’s in forever (funny story, Mr. B used to work as a cook there). Anybody remember Sangria Wednesdays? We ordered the mingas, but only ate about a 1/4 of it because our stomach had hit the limit. And that concludes the food portion of our trip. We want you to know that all we have eaten today is a piece of lettuce. Amen. Next, we have Football. Can you believe K-State is 5-0? God it feels good to have a wining team again. The weather for game day was atrocious. Rain, rain, and more rain. One minute it would sprinkle, then pour and then sprinkle again. But that didn’t stop us from tailgating!
Or stop Weird Robert from walking around and talking crazy. It was Harley Day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. We forgot we actually were at Harley Day last year. Our how time flies! (And we just realized, we wore the same shirt last year. Um, major fashion fail).
Even though it rained pretty much the entire game, it didn’t keep us from watching. We told Mr. B that all you have to do to stay dry is double bag. He laughed. Aren’t these parkas ridiculous? We thought the Cats played well, except for the fourth quarter when Mizzou almost came back and won. Good thing Bill knows what he is doing! Congrats to the Kitties! The final, and most important part of this trip was seeing Family. Even though the whole Griswold family wasn’t in Manhattan this weekend, Mr. B and we did have a fun time hanging out with Chuck, Susie, Andrea, Evan and Ella. Ella Rose is getting so big. We can’t believe she is two and a half! She was an absolute rockstar during the game and at brunch on Sunday. She is so freaking adorable! Love. And that’s a wrap! Our trip to the Little Apple was short, but sweet. Mr. B and we had a great time and are looking forward to visiting again to watch some Frank Martin basketball. Peace! P. S. On Friday, CGM was on Bon Appetit. Check out this link!
