NYC Day 3

Saturday we had a slow start. We were enjoying being indoors and warm and finally around 4 we decided to go out. We went to the West Village where Megan and Daniel used to live, and I have to say, that has to be one of the cutest places in the city to live. If there were a neighborhood like that here, I'd consider living there, even with the small living space.

Then we grabbed another quick slice (YUMMERS) and walked past NYU and took pictures by the arch at Washington Square. We didn't walk through it though since it was dark, and I hear it's quite the meeting place for certain salesmen.


Across the street is where Will Smith lived in I Am Legend.


Then we strolled down a street with lots of random vendors and little restaurants and ended at Milon the Bangladesh Restaurant! This is where the fun begins. As soon as we walked in the door I noticed they were hanging chili pepper lights so I told the guy "nice lights!" and he said "thanks, they're new!" And then I noticed there were tons of lights and colors and sparkly paper all crammed into a restaurant the size of a trailer. YES! Megan and Daniel told me what I was experiencing was actually after they took down 90% of the decorations.

I took one with the flash on, but isn't the red more fun?

Daniel looks so hardcore in this one because he's holding the camera
So then BABU comes out and Megan and Daniel get all excited that he's there and he hugs them and kisses Megan's head (they say he's pretty touchy most of the time). Then I had the pleasure of meeting him. THEN after we order he brings me this drink (can't remember the name) but it's like liquidy fruity yogurt with ice cubes in it ON the HOUSE. Babu, you shouldn't have! Daniel told me things really get exciting when they play the birthday song.

Our food was quite scrumptious. I wasn't really sure what the true color of all the food was, but when we got into normal light again, I noticed my fingers were dyed in yellow pigment (you can see it on Megan's lips in the photo with the flash on too). It was very tasty and I want to go back right now! Oooh and the banana things that tasted like they had doughnut on the outside...ahhh...can't remember what those are called either. THEN the music starts. I didn't know exactly what was going on, but I got SO excited and started clapping with the music and everyone was cheering and clapping and out comes the ice cream with a candle in it! We were all watching to see who it went to, and it was ME! Yaaaay!!! I've decided if you really want to make me happy, all you have to do it put on fun music and cheer and bring me out a treat. Well Babu definitely made my night. So of course we all had to get our pictures taken with him. Oh, I almost forgot. Babu gave me his card and wrote his name on the back all slow-like. Not sure if it was an autograph, or a way of giving me his number, but it was pretty special.

Later I was told you get mango ice cream at the end of every meal anyway. Haha! Whatever it was my special night!

Megan looks semi-embarrassed right here.



Thumbs up for brotherhood and friendship!
