Our first visitors and Mercer Labs

Well as the title of this blog posts suggests, November is already over and I almost cant believe it. We had some friends (Natalie and Gordon) come visit us for the first time and we got to test out our guest room configuration. It was an amazing time overall, but hanging out with them was definitely the highlight. We went to some cool bars, saw some comedy shows, and visited this really neat art installation called Mercer Labs.

I found yet another delicious italian sando to add to my running list. This one for sure breaks the top 5.

It turns out it was a crypto bar, which might be the weirdest bar vibe I have experienced in NYC so far

busker busker

We saw this cool busker on the subway platform. We could hear him playing from farther down the track and it sounded so ethereal so we walked toward the music to see. Anyone know what this instrument is called?
