Holy Rollers
After working a few hours on Saturday morning we drove in to Manhattan to meet our friend Justin. Parked in Chinatown and headed straight for the Chinese deli that we found the other week. Got some pork buns and pineapple buns before meeting Justin. Both Mike and Justin had seen a show on TV about doughnuts and the place was a few blocks from where we were so we decided to try finding it. The line was out the door, hoping that this was going to be the best doughnut place in the world we stood in the line like all the other hungry Americans. Bought a bunch of different flavors took ONE bit of each and then threw them out. Way to sweet and not any better than Dunkin Doughnuts.
Headed back to Justin’s apartment where we hung out for a while before we decided that some real food might be good after a day filled with sugary treats. Had dinner at a restaurant called 7A where we sat outside enjoying the beautiful weather. After dinner we walked back downtown to The New Design High School where we had tickets to something called Rooftop Films. This is in different places all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx every weekend all summer long. You get to see a band play for 30 minutes and then you watch and independent film that is being shown for the first time ever. Last night’s film was Holy Rollers a movie about an Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn who gets himself involved in dealing drugs from Amsterdam. After the movie the director and some of the actors gets on stage to answer questions from the audience. I liked the movie and the whole experience that you sit outside o a rooftop looking over Manhattan.
