We headed to meet with friends in Sheeps Meadow, off of the 68th street entrance at Central Park. There, a great open field with lots of people sun bathing, playing frisbee and volley ball, picnicking and people watching awaited us. Armed with some sun screen, bug spray plus football and towels in tow, we found our friends and enjoyed a day in the sun! It was so nice to get out! Definitely a freedom we are grateful for, and deserving of a moment of silence and reflection in memory for those that have sacrificed for us.
After some fun volleying, my sweetheart and I decided to take a walk around the lake and then watch the roller skating dancers. They are so amazing! And what's so great is that most of the dancers are older than both of us and in such great shape - so charismatic and full of life!
This fabulous woman in the picture below, although this wasn't taken today, was dressed in a jumper and danced to house music with style! She was so inspiring to watch. We were both wowed and a woman next to us in true New York fashion exclaimed, "she's ridiculous!"
Back in Hoboken for dinner, we enjoyed some pizza at one of our favorite pizzeria's in Hoboken. The famous Benny Tudino's located between 5th and 6th on Washington Street. Yes their slices are obscenely large, but that doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice flavor for size! Their pizza is delicious. We were lucky enough to sit outside and order a few beers (Benny's serves beer) plus the 28 inch pie between 5 of us. A giant of a thing, it's a pizza masterpiece! One slice requires two plates to hold it!
A great day with great company! If you haven't tried Benny's you definitely have to at least once. Order your slice well done if you don't like your pizza slightly undercooked. You'll be glad you tried it!
Happy Memorial Day everyone. Hope you had a great weekend! Back to work in a few hours!
What's your favorite slice in Hoboken?? Let me know!
This sounds like a really lovely day :)
