Larissa's Birthday at Von

Last weekend, Carrie hosted a pre-party for Larissa's birthday before we headed to Von. We had delicious food -- cured meats, cheeses, a delicious salad made by annique and some veggies and dip. We had champagne cocktails when Larissa arrived and then had birthday cake. It was delicious. She was surprised by the cake, took some time to think of a good wish and blew out the candle.

Needless to say, all of this took some time, so we ended up being a little late to Von. The main floor of Von is a bit like a regular bar, but there is a bar downstairs that is a little more lively. We headed downstairs and nabbed a table, threw down our jackets and waited for Larissa's friends and the DJ to arrive.

The party lasted a long time and ended up with a trip to the diner. Annique decided to stay over because it was so late. We moved aside the "Noguchi," which is very, very heavy, and pulled out the sofa bed. It's funny when the sofa bed is out because the whole apartment is like two giant beds. But it works!

When we woke up, we headed to Le Pain Quotidien for some croissant or something. It was fantastic!
