SOUL CYCLE & 

THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY 

With the upcoming holiday weekend, no one wanted to be in the office Thursday... from banking to event design. SO not only did I get to leave the office early on Thursday but Alex and Stephen did also! 

Alex and I got off early in the afternoon and met for our first soul cycle class in Union Square. 

IT WAS INSANE.  

We had THE GREATEST time. 

The instructors are like DJ's who get you super stoked to go and push you hard for the entire hour without you even realizing the time is passing 

(except for the buckets of sweat dripping from every pore from about five minutes in) 

^^ I have honestly never sweated so much in my life 

We had to get some protein smoothies from Juice Generation because 1. we needed a refuel and 2. they taste really, really good 

We walked around the city to check out some of the holiday deals and then both got messages that Dylan & Stephen were leaving their offices early. SUCH GOOD NEWS. 

Stephen met me at my place and we walked down to the sea ports together. 

^^Down by the water there's a pretty cobblestone street full of shops and food trucks

We rode the Staten Island Ferry to be on the water, see the Statue of Liberty and look back on the city. The ferry is free for anyone with a metro pass because it's a commuter-ferry. The weather was nice but pretty cloudy so there weren't very many people at all. It was really nice! 

After the ferry ride we went to an Italian restaurant our friends told us about called Vapiano. 

Vapiano is a pizza & pasta bar like nothing I've ever seen before. You are handed a credit card as you walk in and either customize your own order or choose one of their dishes, you swipe your card at each station and then pay when you're all done. And the food is UNREAL.

We shared bruschetta 

Stephen had pasta, which he loved as well! 

I think we are already on countdown to our next visit!
