things i must do before summer ends…which is like next week!
Posted by thejinius under life in new york
1. Go to Shake Shack for a burger and chocolate shake
2. Watch the U.S. Open games at Madison Square Park
3. Have a Mai Tai at the Rusty Knot and pretend I’m in the Florida keys
4. Go to the beer garden in Williamsburg and have bratwurst whilst flirting with a random guy at the communal table, hoping he is turned on by fragrance of onions and grilled meat
5. A picnic in the park. I haven’t gone to the park ALL SUMMER. I can’t embrace fall without brie, soppresata, and rosaaaay in the park!
6. Watch the new Batman movie. I know, I know, I am one of two people who haven’t seen the new Batman movie. I’m too busy doing important things like watching Jon and Kate Plus Eight.
7. Go to the beach or pool or anything with water–preferably clean, clear water free of hypodermic needles
8. Have rosaaay on the rooftop of Juliette in Williamsburg
9. Barbecue. For the love of god, someone please have another barbecue! I have not consumed enough grilled meat this summer!
10. Summer smoochies! I need to unleash my not so inner trollop and have another summer fling before I hibernate for the winter.
11. Margaritas and guacamole outdoors
12. Crackitos at Paladar
13. Afternoon in Red Hook
14. Green tea icecream from Sundaes and Cones
15. An outdoor summer concert. I can’t believe I missed all the shows at McCarren and Central park. Where did the summer go????
Evidently all my summer activities involve food and drink and smoochies of some sort. This should not be difficult to accomplish.

Hi, #s 1-3 all involve the same locale, and I am willing to join you for #1. I can probably be convinced to join you for 2 and 3 as well, though I’ve been to the Rusty Knot more times in my life than really is necessary.
