New Jersey

On Friday Danielle and I went to New Jersey to work at the All Tomorrows Parties festival. (One of Danielles coworkers needed extra help selling at his food stand)

First things first- we had to pick up some corn at union square.

Danielle got to drive for the first time in New York City! 

I had to sit in the back with the corn. hahaha


Then it was off to New Jersey! We had to cross the Booklyn Bridge.. and I got to take this awesome picture. 


Our first job was to fashion a tablecloth out of the burlap sacks. 

 

And then to make the sign


This is us setting up :] The food stand was for this sandwich shop called "I 8 NY." 

Today they were serving Bloody Mary BLT's. Grilled Corn with Smoked Apple Butter. and Verbena Lemonade.


This is us taking a break from setting up.


This is the Bloody Mary BLT. It was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. It has all the ingredients of a bloody mary into a BLT. They had a horseradish mayonnaise, and the bacon was marrinated in a bloody mary-type sauce, all on sourdough bread. SO SO SO bomb. I highly recommend everyone to try this if they come here!


We were finally finished setting up at 3pm. But right after selling our very first sandwich- the rain started to pour! It stopped for about 15 minutes at a time, then would start up again. We all were soaked and freezing pretty much the entire time..and Danielle had to keep re-writing the board because it kept getting washed away.


Soooo needless to say, we didn't get to sell too much food, but it was still fun. We ate bomb food. Hung out with fun people. And made about $10 each in tips! Danielle stayed there so that she could work on Saturday too. I decided to go home because I was super exhausted and started to not feel so well. After a long drive and even longer train ride home- I finally arrived home around 4:30am.
