i moved. and it went smoother than i thought it was going to. the movers were hilarious and pleasant, and somehow they fit all of my belongings into a 20 sq foot room in manhattan mini storage. when i expressed doubt, the foreman said "we got you." and they did. they did got me.
we were done by around 1p, and then there was everything that i had to do after. all of my stuff was gone and packed away, but i had things i still needed to donate, suitcases and bags of spices/groceries to get to chris' in greenpoint, time warner cable boxes to return. all of this stuff is so difficult in manhattan without a car, so i decided to rent a zipcar which was the easiest way to go about everything. of course, somehow i picked a time of day to drop things off when school was letting out, no parking, etc etc. all i could do was laugh. i would be done soon.
after that long day, i needed a treat, so i met up with my friend carly to accomplish my day 11 challenge - dumont burger.
oh. my. god. DUMONT burger. why has it taken me 4 years of ny living to get to you? i literally am in brooklyn every weekend. and my friends have even invited me to go with them a few times but for some reason i could never make it work. but tonight, it was the perfect night to accomplish this challenge. it's been unseasonable warm the last few nights, but there's been a bit of a breeze which makes it bearable. carly and i decided to sit outside and have a beer while waiting for the burgers. we both ordered the dumont burger, and i just ordered it as is - no add ons like bacon, avocado, cheese, aoli, etc. mainly because i'm a purist and wanted to taste it in it's simplest form, but also because i didn't know if i was going to be able to finish it with all that stuff on it.
