On Friday night, a few of us decided last minute to go to Brooklyn Bridge Park at around midnight since I drove to Lower East Side and Brooklyn was just across the river. We hung out there for a few hours talking, drinking and taking photos. The place is really peaceful at night and it's perfect for a chill kind of night. I would definitely go back some other time and just have a midnight picnic there.
Saturday was Living Social's 5K Dance Party at Citi Field. It wasn't as good as I had imagined, but still a pretty cool event nevertheless. We all wore black and had glow sticks around our necks, wrists, legs, and wherever we could hang glowsticks. We didn't actually run inside Citi Field, instead, we ran around Citi Field and made a bunch of zig zagging paths inside the parking lot. Along the course there were glowing structures like balloons, light tunnels, and stages. The 5K ended inside the stadium on the walkway that loops around the field. The field itself wasn't open, so everything happened on the walkway. We didn't stay for the after party but it didn't seem that cool anyway. Instead, we came back to my apartment, pregamed, and went bar hopping around the Lower East Side area.
Today, after everyone who crashed at my apartment woke up, we went to Ikea to get lunch. Our original plan was to go to Governor's Island, but it started drizzling and we rather have food than walk around. We stayed at Ikea for 2 hours or so, sitting on every couch and sleeping on every mattress. A lazy Sunday kind of day.
