elf!

B's first ever Broadway show (and my sweet, thoughtful Christmas gift from him) was a success! Elf was adorable and funny, light hearted and good old fashioned musical theater entertainment. We were fortunate enough to catch Wayne Knight (best known for his portrayal of the creepy and curmudgeon postal service worker, Newman, on Seinfeld) as Santa in the show, which was both a surprise and quite a treat. I pinpointed his voice right off the bat! 

My date was also pretty adorable in his late grandfather's sweater, his favorite winter piece :) I mean c'mon, you know this kinda thing tugs on my sentimental heart strings....

crappy iPhone pic, but ya get the gist

After hopping out of our cab home about a block away from my coworker's apartment (huge thank you to K for her super generous hospitality!!! Your digs are as lovely and charming as you!) B noticed this brilliantly decorated restaurant window on the corner. 

Even though we were both fairly tired, we couldn't resist popping in for a glass of wine to check out the delightfully twinkle-lit decor. The inside was so cozy and festive I felt like I had been pushed back to Christmas Eve! According to the bar tender, this set up takes the establishment 6 weeks to complete. 

Holy garland....

The night was a perfect way to officially close the Christmas season as well as wrap up my wonderful stay in the east (insert mixed emotions about heading west here...)

See ya on the left, friends.

In Gratitude,

Trish
