Well I'm home sick today - after an eventful weekend my body decided to give out on me so I'm posting from bed.
Saturday EBJ and I decided to partake in Urban Dare a sort of day-long Amazing Race in NYC. You have to compete in teams of two and answer clues to map out your travel route - fastest teams win a prize (and a silver plate we found out later).
EBJ and I are both quite competitive people, in things that matter - like Zogsports Charity Co-ed Touch Football or who can get ready faster in the morning - but a race? No way we were in it for fun and drinking
In no way is Urban Dare meant to be a bar crawl - but it was a lovely Saturday and when you pass PJ Clarkes its almost blasphamous (hard word) to not imbibe.
We completly entertained the day drinkers and got some funny looks as we walked from clue to clue. We saw the Love Wall on Park Ave, did a wheelbarrow race next to Alexander Hamilton. I learned something new about EBJ (he can't blow bubbles) and danced a jig in Grand Central Station with whipped cream on my face.
Did you know the MS in MSNBC stands for Microsoft and that The Matrix was Keanu Reeves highest grossing film? (I still think Pointbreak should have counted)
We found ribbon stores and bell ringers and Ralph from the honeymooners, fell in love with 2 dogs and had to-go margaritas.
We finished in 4 hours 49 minutes - 2 hours and 49 minutes after the winners - but we weren't sore losers, we just headed back to the to-go margarita place to drown our sorrows with tequila.
To come tomorrow: a bit about a wine tasting

About Me
- SuzeandSil
- Suze and Sil are 2 twenty five year olds managing life in Manhattan - we want to travel the world, but are finding our very own adventures in New York as we go. The idea for the blog came to us as we sat in Grand Central station eating watermelon from the market, after getting free facials at Origins upstairs. Our good friend was embarking on a year long round the world trip - South America, Greece, India and beyond, and we were just excited about our trip across the river (by tram!) to Roosevelt Island for our touch football game that afternoon. We realized adventures can be around the world in 80 days, or up to Harlem on the subway to see the Little Red Lighthouse under the Great Gray Bridge. We don't have to leave this island to find fun, but we will sometimes - we might spend $2 we might spend $200 (Lilly Pulitzer dresses are Suze's weakness, fabulous bags and cool sneakers are Sil's). We are two lucky girls with a penchant for adventure and a knack for finding ourselves in curious situations - we figured we may as well start writing them down so when we are old and gray sitting on the porch of Suze's lighthouse we can remember all our fabulous times.
