At last, more pinoy beers here (among other things...)!

We all went to NJ and NYC this past weekend. It was a tightly-packed weekend, with us leaving around 5 pm Friday, driving from the other end of PA all the way to northern jersey then coming back Sunday night.

We finally got to Elizabeth, NJ at around 1 am. The whole of Saturday was spent taking my in-laws all over the place with our tour guide/friend, Annagar. We went to lady liberty via the ferry from NJ, then went on the train in NJ over to NYC. took them to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, M&M world, NBC store (really wanted to get a heroes shirt but way too expensive...), then we had dinner at cendrilon, a Filipino/french fusion restaurant owned by a pinoy. The food and the atmosphere of the restaurant was ok, but the prices a bit too high.

Sunday was basically spent buying pinoy groceries at jersey city for Dez, and me buying beer at the beer store. San Miguel Pale and Cerveza Negra (a.k.a., San Miguel Dark) has been here for the past 4 years in Pittsburgh, but that was about it. I was surprised and excited to find out that NJ had red horse and san mig light already! I got a 6-pack of the RH and a full case of the light, even though they were a bit pricey. I wish they would bring super dry next!

One more reason to go back to NJ...
