Brazilian Brunch, Les Mis, Brooklyn Bridge and BBQ

We met Lisa and Eben for a sunshiney outdoor brunch in the east village. Good food, great company, awesome atmosphere. There was a street fair and a parade nearby. Eben attempted to wear Lisa's sunglasses over his eyeglasses which made for funny photos.

We made our way back to Times Square for an amazing performance of Les Mis. Stellar show, I loved every minute of it. Though we all agreed that Eponine seemed miscast. I cried at the end, even though I've seen it so many times I shouldn't be emotionally impacted by the ending. 

Next up was a trek on the A train to Brooklyn. We had ice cream at the Brooklyn ice cream factory under the bridge. Walked across as the sun was setting and took some great photos.

We had a 9PM reservation at Blue Smoke. Lauren typically wants Virgil's but knowing David's taste, I wanted to be sure he could find something to eat. I insisted we try something new. It was also recommended by a friend of theirs who had recently been to NY. It was a hit. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere was perfect for a sit down meal after a big day.
