 Syracuse to Long Island |  |  Long Island to Jersey City |
With business to attend to, we headed out for a quick 48 hour trip. Thankfully, traffic wasn’t too bad so our travel time from Syracuse, NY to Calverton, Long Island was just under 6 hours. The trip would have been much longer if we stopped for a pee break every couple hours, but thankfully that wasn’t necessary since we left Marshmellow with his grandma for this trip.

After our accomplished mission in Long Island, we headed to Jersey City for dinner with friends that we hadn’t seen in over a year. Sadly, the Brooklyn Bridge was closed this weekend so we had to take the Midtown tunnel but there was certainly no shortage of the best view in America while driving straight through the world’s most inspiring city to get to the other side of the Hudson.
We enjoyed catching up with friends over dinner at More Restaurant, which carries the same owners as SkyThai Restaurant, and was just as I remembered it. I had been dreaming of chicken pad thai for months! We stayed with our friends who happen to have the best skyline view of NYC. Great way to fall asleep and an even better way to wake up! Our bed sat directly in front of the picture window.

Before breakfast at the Beechwood Café, we headed to the waterfront for a walk and some photos. During breakfast, we again enjoyed the company of friends, along with our neighbor who is attending Parsons School in NYC, which we enticed to take a quick path train ride over for breakfast. It’s great going out of town, only to catch up with your next door neighbor!
Although short, our trip was worth a permanent spot in the memory bank!
