We haven't been on a Mirlouise date in awhile so we decided to try a new place in Queens for dinner and rent movies.
We went to this place called The Queens Kirkshaw. It is a grilled cheese/ beer/ coffee place. Very unique with a great style. Miranda ( the beer adventurer) tried a new beer and I (the wine gal) had a glass of white.
We also tried their tomato soup (because naturally you must have tomato soup with your grilled cheese). Now these grilled cheeses are not your typical cheese, bread and butter.... Miranda had the Gouda which had black bean hummus, guava jam( dont understand that) pickled jalapenos among other things and I had the FOntina VAl d' Aosta which is short for cheese, mushrooms, pesto and focaccia. They were good except for the jam!

Pretty, right?
After our girl talk/ grilled cheese date, we went and talked around Queens and found a new area and a RED BOX! First time I have seen one here! I haven't seen any movies lately so it was time.
So After the date night, and some sleep we went to Manhattan for the day.
We strayed into a wholesale jewelry shop.... unlike Eloise, Miranda hasn't done a lot of accessory shopping. SO we HAD to go in.
After an hour, we emerged from the store and she now owns
8 bracelets
5 necklaces
3 earrings
2 headbands
6 rings
THe grand total was about $60! She is now the BARGAIN QUEEN!
A couple rings were for me, BUT they were only $1- $2!
We do love NEW YOrk for its shopping.
Later in the day after going to a museum with our friend Kellie and eating fried chicken at a random place, we headed to our next favorite... CHINA TOWN!
China Town is our favorite shopping location because we love the random stuff. We don't go after the fake CHannel, Coach, or D&G, we go and find the stores off of Canal that sell $20 shoes! Great finds!
We always find great finds, if only we could always have the money in our wallets!
After a day of shopping we got on our subway and headed back to Queens, changed and headed back to China Town for an 80's Party!
Best eighty's show I have seen!
That is right... Rubix Kube!
Sunday was hard to get up for but we made it to Church on time! We decided to try Redeemer. Pretty good but Tim Keller wasn't there. That is who I have heard to much about. Maybe next time...
We then walked to Central Park and laid out! Where else can you walk from church a few blocks and lay in your bathing suit in the park!
After the loveliness of Central PArk, we returned to Queens for laundry and homework... back to intern life.
Until next weekend!
