day 3

yesterday we woke up and got coffee at Jacks Stir Brew, a big black coffee and some vanilla espresso soy thing. we walked around union square, and i took my first ever wheatgrass shot! we shopped for sporting goods and stuff at Paragon then went to Gotham Bar and Grill for brunch.

this place was fantastic! we had a price fixed menu, first course watermelon salad with fresh farmers market grape tomatoes, feta, basil, and something citrus with olive oil. next was a hanger steak served rare with some red jus or something, and some fingerling potatoes, and some peppers and onions.

we went back home, then went to the Standard Hotel biergarten, bought 3 tickets and had 2 wiesbiers and 1 dark amber, very good. we then went to the US Open in flushing. Rebeccas friend was able to get us through the immensely long line and some free drinks. we went to our seats and watched a womens match then saw roger federer assert his dominance over Melzer in straight sets.

we took the subway home, then went to bed
