Ka boom... ka boom from the roof

It's July 4th! This glorious long 4-day holiday weekend was extra special because we welcomed our first overnight guests – Shij and Sabby! We bribed them with all the yummy food that NYC has to offer so that maybe they’ll forgive us for not having electricity in most of the unit, or furniture, or the fact that they had to sleep on pool floats as beds.

A few years ago, Sean and I went to join the throngs of people on FDR to watch Macy's Fireworks – the fireworks was pretty, but the concrete road was painful to sit on and we were packed in like sardines. This year, we decided to skip all that for the comfort of our home and made an awesome discovery - we can catch most of the fireworks from our rooftop! We just find reasons to love our new place more and more – despite the lack of electricity and all :)
