Weekend Update - 10/8/2012

{ringing in the first of fall with a 20° temperature drop}

After milking a months worth of posts out of my trip to Europe, we're back on track. The weekend was full of birthday festivities for my friend Lauren which started Friday night at The Ainsworth, Saturday brunch at Bagatelle (french brunch of a morning, St. Tropez club by afternoon), drinks at Down the Hatch (your run of the mill Village dive bar), dinner at Malatesta (cozy little Italian spot in the West Village; great food) and finally cocktails at Employees Only. It was a long one. Sunday was supposed to be brunch at The Dutch but too long of a wait sent us around the corner to Hundred Acres (mediocre at best). How did you spend your weekend?
