The three Amigos awoke in pleasant beds, in a pleasant house, to pleasant weather and great coffee. Waking up in a new place most every day for the past 30 can get rather disorienting, but the Amigos knew exactly where they were this time: Pleasantville. There was something missing, though. "WHERE'S OUR FOURTH AMIGO?!?!?" each of us woke up screaming. We had to find him at once. LT2's father, The King, generously drove us to the train station. We were determined to find our Whiskers in the big ol' city.
On our trek to locate him, we first met up with our awesome friend Bryan who was being a big-time working man down in the Financial District. He graciously fit us in to his very busy work day, and we all had the best time with him. Bryan ran into Whiskers a day or two earlier, so we thought he might have a lead on where we could catch up with the mysterious amigo. We were having so much fun catching up and eating burgers at the Shake Shack that we almost forgot our mission. Reluctantly leaving our fellow Eliotite buddy to get back to work, we headed north to scan the city for Whiskers.
With the help of a smart phone or two, we lured Whiskers to a highly-rated beer bar called The Ginger Man, which boasts 66 beers on tap. We got him! He was also wily enough to finagle a break in his work day to come meet up with us for our last official road trip event. We clinked our glasses to Four Amigo reunions in the future, and said farewell. We were all very reluctant to say goodbye to such a phenomenal trip.
Whiskers had to whisk off back to work, so the remaining three walked north again towards Grand Central where we would catch the train back to Pleasantville (not that NYC hadn't been overwhelmingly pleasant). But Oh ho, dear readers! We walked straight into a brilliant surprise! Our friend who you read about in our Dallas adventures, Warren, was working in the MetLife building and shot downstairs for a few minutes to see us off. Three friends in three different places in about three hours! The amigos did some good work in the short time they spent in the city (per usual!).
The next item on the agenda took us to the local Pleasantville brewery, Captain Lawrence. For $2 you can taste all the beer you want from a CL tasting glass that doubles as a souvenir of your visit. Tasting is from 4-7pm. We arrived after 6, but rest assured, dear readers, that the tasting we did in less than an hour was more than most mortals could probably do in three. We left happy and well-cultured in the intricate brewing style of Westchester County.
Relaxing back at LT2's castle, we feasted upon the famous Lime Cilantro Shrimp that we had prepared earlier and LT2 cooked up for us. What a pleasant end to a great day! We then snuggled in for a screening of A Knight's Tale before nodding off into pleasant dreams...
