Jersey. Food. Work.

Hoboken, New Jersey

...was fabulous! The views of Manhattan were wonderful and we found the perfect restaurant, Turning Point Cafe. TPC sits on the Hudson river and the top left picture shows our view of Manhattan.

Funny sign in Turning Point Cafe

Fruit Stands

...are on every corner and open 24/7. Have an apple craving at 2AM? Just walk to your nearest corner.

Homemade Mexican Food vs. Casabel Taqueria

Richard's homemade quacomole. WINS!

This was really good though! Instead of a basket of chips, this is how it is served. Cute!

Relaxing Saturday

The previous Saturday was in no way relaxing due to the oven fire and then 3-day gas leak. It pretty much ruined our 4-day weekend (although our trip to Hoboken was really fun). So, we made up for it with a relaxing day to ourselves... :)

Top Left Photo: This is the East River (we see the East River each time we step out of our apartment). I love seeing sailboats pass by when I walk the dogs. It's just beautiful! This particular view is from the dog run that we take the dogs to every weekend. It is a wonderful way to start the weekend, filled with locals and the dogs love making new friends while running around off their leashes. We've also learned a ton about the city from other dog parents. =)

Working Around the City

Capital One has an extremely mobile working environment. Therefore, being in this environment for over a year now has taught me to not sit still for too long! Thanks to free wifi, I can pretty much work anywhere...which I love because I am such a people watcher.

Bryant Park: Tons of tables, free wifi and you can charge your laptop!
 Isn't this a gorgeous view? Beats the inside of an office!

Lunch at Bryant Park - Witchcraft Cafe. Yes, it was as good as it looks. Before moving to NYC, I would never go somewhere and eat alone....here, it doesn't faze me!

New York Public Library - feels so strange working out of such a large tourist attraction. This is the wifi room.
 Don't think I'm crazy, but I never saw any books while in one of the largest libraries. Odd? I think so...

Dylan's Candy Store

The ultimate candy store. I love chocolate. Richard loves sweets. They had so much more....we even bought "candy" dog treats for Pickle and Sundae (we sang happy birthday to them before handing them over...they loved their "candy" treats)!
