Date night at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant

First date night of the year was at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Restaurant. We participated in a Billion Oyster Social. The Billion Oyster Project is a fabulous organization that collects old oyster shells and returns them to the New York Harbor to restore oyster reefs. We enjoyed a three-course tasting menu with cocktail pairings. Everything was yummy 😋!

After the social, we stayed and had more oysters and dinner.

Musical Explorer event at Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall has great family programming. This past Saturday, we enjoyed their Musical Explorer program, featuring three performers. It was a great blend of music, dance, and storytelling. Everyone, especially the kids, was encouraged to sing along and learn different cultural dances. We had a great time!

Attended PBR: Unleash the Beast last night.

This weekend, Madison Square Garden is all about the Cowboys. PBR: Unleash the Beast is a bull-riding competition where riders must stay on a bull for 8 seconds. Both rider and bull are then judged by their performance. It’s pretty intense watching everybody ride, but also really fun. My friend and I had the best time.

Here are some photos (and a video) of the night.
