All that Jazz

I got an interview!!! For a recent graduate, this is spectacular news. Not only that, but its an interview for a paid internship! Somebody's willing to pay me for my work! Given, its only 100 dollars a week, and that money will basically be spent on train tickets from Long Island to the city, but I'm not about to let that rain on my parade. For that matter, I'm not going to even let fact that this is merely an interview and I that I may not actually get hired stop me from celebrating. The simple fact is, in my mind, this job is mine. Call is egoism, call it confidence, who knows, in my head the interview is a mere formality. Word to my friends- it'll probably be prudent to not be around me if I find out that I have not actually gotten this internship.

In other news, I just came back from a day in the city with my boyfriend. It was fabulous. We took a trip down to Chelsea Market, and being the utterly gigantic food snobs that the two of us are, it was quite amazing that we had never been there before. Well let me state this for the record- I LOVE Chelsea Market. It has almost every one of my favorite things under one roof, awesome food and alcohol. Add to that there are enough free samples to probably make a meal (or in our case, an appetizer to lunch) and the possibility of seeing Bobby or Giada (we saw no one famous) and if you're truly lucky being there in time for the free wine and tequila tasting at the wine shop and I am a very happy girl. Of course I had two main problems with being there, a. as I've mentioned, I am a recent college graduate, which means I don't have nearly enough money to buy everything I want to eat, and b. also because I am a college grad, I have about 10 excess pounds that I need to lose. So while I did have to choose between getting the white chocolate brownie at Fat Witch Bakery, or the banana nut muffin with cream cheese icing at Eleni's (I chose the brownie), we splurged on lunch and ate at the Green Table.

The Green Table, as you probably could have guessed, is a restaurant that strives to serve local and organic food. The food was amazing. I got a chicken pot pie while my boyfriend got the cheese plate and I was in heaven. There is something about organic food that has the ability to just make you food so incredibly good. Even though I was probably consuming my daily allotment of calories in just the crust of that pot pie, I somehow felt healthy doing it. My chicken was organic, the veggies were organic and locally grown. Even the wheat that the crust organic. Plus, It's like your giving to charity by eating at the restaurant because you're helping the local farmers. Really, its a win/win situation. Well, at least until you get the check it is.

At night, we stumbled (yes, stumbled, as we chose our dinner location on the fact that they were known for having extremely potent margaritas, and as such we were highly intoxicated) over to Caroline's on Broadway. The comedy show was okay, Bobby Lee- the guy from mad tv- was head lining and to be quite honest, he wasn't really that funny at all. Thats truly saying something when I was so drunk by this time that when I got up to go to the bathroom I almost fell 3 times during the trip, causing pretty much everyone to look at me. All in all, however, it was a great trip and made me realize for the umpteenth time just how much New York is better than every other city in the world.
