today might have been my favorite day in new york.
i have planted and worked in many different gardens now, in many different places. i feel lucky to say that they have all been beautiful, truly. today was the first time though that i looked up from the dirt in front of me and saw the awesome skyline of midtown manhattan. today was the first day in nyc that i could look down and see my pants covered in mud and my nails caked with soil. it was such a relief.
this gardening excursion was bookended by truly fantastic meals. first at diner with shannon and the girls and after at roberta's with shay. at roberta's i not only had the best pizza i've ever had in my life, but i also got to eat some of the ingredients grown on the rooftop i'd worked at all afternoon.
both of these restaurants are helping push the local, sustainable eating thing forward in brooklyn and they are doing it so deliciously it is mind-blowing. yes there is some seriously rad shit going on in brooklyn right now....
check out this website and see what they are up to on this one acre rooftop in queens. i think it is so cool. and besides being really really cool i also happen to think it is important. and it's awesome to be a part of something cool and import.... even if it's just for a day.
thank you so much shannon, ben and shay for making my last day here so special.
