Ladies' Night!

Last night a bunch of us girls (Ashley, Claire, Danielle, Emilie, Erin, Kate, Katie, Kelsey, Meagan, Rachel, and I) had a ladies' night!

We got all fancied up (I wore the dress from Adrienne's wedding), and ate at a nice downtown restaurant called Lola's at the Bowery. It's sort of a Mexican fusion place. The decor was very nice: all dark red with lots of candles and drapery and "Dia de los Muertos"-type paintings. It was extremely dark though, almost too dark to read the menu.

I ordered the pollo adobo with a big scoop of goat cheese (yum!), and it was really tasty, though I can't vouch for its looks as I couldn't actually see it. I also finally tried scallop after seeing Jamie cook them every week on this season of Top Chef. I wasn't exactly impressed.

Then we went back to Danielle's place and drank girly cocktails: white Russians, mudslides, amaretto sours, vodka sours, and a delicious grapefruit and peach concoction. Eventually the boys crashed the party though and it devolved into the sort of screwdriver and PBR affairs that college parties usually are.

Well, it was certainly fun while it lasted. We're hoping to make it a monthly occurence, so I definitely have fun times to look forward to in February!
