I’m long overdue on a few blog posts, one of which is the post about ice skating in Rockefeller Center.
Back in November / December, I took myself on a date after work. It was the best kind of date in that it was a total surprise and I had a great time, even though… I didn’t have socks. I know… feel free to be grossed out. Its okay.
I happened to get out of work at 8 pm and went back to the hotel to throw on some jeans and head to Rockefeller Center. I did not intend on skating since the previous evening had been the lighting of the tree and it was bananas. I couldn’t get within 2 blocks of the tree thanks to one too many strollers and police barriers. But, I got to the Rock and there was no line for skating. Miracle.
So enjoy the pictures … and the video.

After my lovely skate … and don’t worry I got my cash money’s worth …. I skated for nearly 2 hrs. Solo. Talk about endurance… anyway, so after my skate I took myself to dinner at Fig & Olive. My mom had recommended this place to me a few months prior but I finally got there to try it out. I sat myself down at the bar and the bartender began to make polite conversation with me. He asked me where I had been since I had rosy cheeks, when I told him I had been ice skating his FIRST response was “oh on a date?”. No sir, not a date. Do you see anyone else with me? No. Just me. What I actually told me was something quite close to “yep, a date with myself and I’m a pretty good time”.
Anyway, the meal was delish and here are a few (poor) pictures.
So this post was way long overdue…. and I probably would never have posted it but it was really such a fun night that I figured it was only fair.
peace out girl scout.
