july was busy! between birthday shenanigans and back-to-back-to-back dog sitting there was a lot happening. we’ll skip over the heat wave and the off-the-charts air quality and focus on the good things that happened:
birthday run // fun project // liberty game with rochelle // a day with ruca // a few lovely early morning runs on the upper east side // time with blanche, bear, zuri, and gravy // new indian restaurant cousin dinner // wimbledon and world cup finals // astoria reading party mixer on the open streets // fancy dinner on governors island with alexa // street fest day in astoria // peruvian dinner // korean feast with abi and sonia
