715

And just like that our time in New Brunswick has ended. There were a couple more things on the bucket list that we accomplished and some things that we never got to, but since life (and a hospital trip) got in the way, as it usually does, we’ve exited through the gift shop with little/no fanfare. Now on to vacation.. ;) 

Hangin’ loose in the hospital, natch.

This one really needs no explanation. Very soon after the completion of the list I realized that most of it had to do with food (or drinks…). So, we killed two birds with one stone by having some Sanctuary takeout and Fruity Yogurt for dessert, because college.

I don’t have a picture of our actual food because we ate it too fast. Anyone who knows Matt won’t be surprised by this. I’m lucky we got this bad boy out of the store before it was inhaled. 

Fun fact- Sanctuary delivers ice cream. You’re welcome.

After our adventure at the driving range Matt drove us over to Passion Puddle so we could partake in one of Rutgers’ most famous traditions. The Puddle is one of Rutgers’ most beautiful spots- one of the only spots on campus were you really feel like you’re ‘at college’. Just don’t get hit in the head with a frisbee while you’re trying to hold hands with your loved one.

Ok, so going to the driving range was not included on my original list, but I will never argue with taking in a little extra sun. Plus I got to use my Fast Camera app for something useful: now I can make a flip book of Matt’s golf swing. Amazing. 

Anyone who’s lived in New Brunswick for five minutes knows that Clydz is the place to be, unless you enjoy the taste of Keystone Light, in which case you will be directed elsewhere. I’ve only been to one martini bar in my entire life but I’m convinced I will never love another as much as I love Clydz- home of the most original and delicious drinks in NB, and in my opinion, the best happy hour. Oh and the bartenders are cute. Oh and the food is amazing (they have rattlesnake on the menu and infuse their own vodka). The list goes on and on.

I’m not sure what it replaced, but the Anabanana is my new favorite Clydz martini.

Just don’t drink too fast!

While things are quiet over at 715, I’ve begun my own process of moving out of my apartment. New Brunswick has a lot to offer and I wanted to make sure that we made the most of it before giving up our dirty brunz crash pad, so we made ourselves a bucket list.

So far out of 20 items on the list, we’ve crossed off 5, plus some essentials that we forgot to include (it wouldn’t be a spring weekend in New Brunswick for Matt if we didn’t visit the Rutgers driving range!).

1. Sushi Room 

Sushi Room is an amazing little sushi place in New Brunswick right under the Easton Avenue Apartments. It’s BYOB and the service, presentation and food are all excellent, even if you’re not crazy about raw fish- the avocado salad and sweet potato tempura are my two favorite items on the menu!

My friends and I had gone there to celebrate a friend’s birthday a couple years ago when the restaurant had first opened and we were the only people in the place. The owner waited on us himself and let us request songs (bonus!) so Sushi Room has always had a special place in my heart. As far as Matt’s heart goes, his family spent time living in Japan when he was younger, so even if he doesn’t remember much about what it was like residing in Tokyo, he is fearless when it comes to the Sushi Room special- a dish that looks extra raw to me.

Just FYI, the item pictured above was an amazing green tea ice cream dessert that would have been worth the trip alone. 

Happy Earth Day!

I got railroad tar on my uggs taking this shot. We both thought that was pretty interesting.
