celebrations!

This week I've been posting {here and here} about fun birthday celebrations in NYC.  Now it's time for the most recent celebration!!  Friday night we dined on fantastic mussels and pasta at Bianca.  Meaghen could not have picked a better place to start off the weekend.  The restaurant was inviting, warm, and I loved the exposed brick walls.  

After dinner, we headed to a bar across the street.  Establishments with hidden rooms are always more exciting.  Then add unusual specialty drinks that incorporate jams and, well, that's an attention getter alright.  Here are some fun snaps from the night!

i love this goofy picture of Meaghen & Lauren - best friends since they were little tots!
