Sangria fiesta

Clear sky and clean air.3C 

35 Sangrias amongst the thirteen of us, that's just insane. And it's not a small glass. To be honest, I'm pretty fried with just one, so I can't imagine of what it's like after having four. I just hope that I won't miss the alarm tomorrow morning and hopefully can stay awake through the morning session.

  7. There are plenty of restaurants in and around Grand Central. They are OKAY, for lunch or something. Inside I think that's some steak house Michael Jordan or something and there is also that very famous Cipriani (that's a catering hall though)... Plus I think that's a business area so on Saturday there aren't too much going on.

    I say go to yelp.com and find out some of the nicer restaurants.

    I don't go out much but as seldom and far in between as I go I do have some I like

    Aquagrill is nice, seafood.

    For subway information try mta.info
    Everything is one fare I think it's 2.50 one way, free transfer between trains, as long as you don't get out of the turnstile.

    Take the train number 6, N or R, you can get off somewhere on Prince or Spring street, plenty of shops along Broadway there and can walk down to Chinatown if you miss Chinese food.
