Memorial Day Weekend

Here's how you make a super-dope Memorial Day Weekend.

1) Make an impromptu picnic at Riverside Park, gathering the last remnants of all your cheese laying around and a baguette. Be sure to find an incredibly inventive way to drink rosé wine in public, because shouldn't that just be allowed??? (I used an old honey jar.)

Bring a wrinkled, second-hand copy of The New Yorker to read, but pretty much just ignore it as you instead spend an hour watching people, children, dogs, bicycles go by as you get eaten alive by the insects that are just as excited as you are that it's finally warm outside.


2. Go see a classic romantic comedy, no really, a good one. See it for free.





3. Go home and make Mom & Grandma's Gazpacho. Turn on some music, wear the apron.




4. Go to Belmont Park and watch the horse races. Win enough to break even for the day. Play with babies.




5. Take your gazpacho to the end of the earth, i.e. Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Mingle. Get all excited over the song from a passing ice cream truck.


6. Accept compliments on gazpacho.


(and don't forget that SPF 50)
