This week has been a rough one- lots of work to handle, got sick enough to have to stay home one day and got some not so great news early Friday (nothing devastating but basically I have to do a whooooole lot of work on something I've already been trying to develop for a while). Needless to say I needed to take a little bit of time to de-stress. Read: drinks with friends!
A few of my favorite co-workers rallied together and headed to what is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in the city- happy hour includes super low cost drinks PLUS you get a mini pizza. A MINI PIZZA, you guys! In love.
We talk over work victories, frustrations, funny moments and generally light issues and are having all sorts of bonding moments when one of my co-worker's husbandshows up. I'd only met him once before very briefly, so it was cool for all of us to get the chance to talk a bit before the couple went off for an adorable married-people dinner. He and I had the chance to talk, and as we talked about our respective backgrounds and the NY neighborhoods we call home, we inevitably landed on the taboo topic du jour of young New York professionals: gentrification.
