Goodbye City Life... Hello Astoria!

When you live in Manhattan, the land of transient work and insane rent prices, you get suckered into helping friends move all the time. Some friends in our circle are always (conveniently) out of town for these moves. I happen to enjoy hauling boxes and seeing how much crap we can squeeze into the back of a moving van. It's like going to the gym, but then whoever is moving is deeply indebted to you (and one day I am going to need help moving out of my 5th floor walk-up). Last weekend Carlos and Joe moved out of their tiny, but ultra convenient midtown apartment. They bought a GORGEOUS three level house in Astoria Queens (right across the river and still pretty convenient). I am already looking forward to Christmas sleepover and dinner parties in the new home. Congrats to the new home owners! Of course, Carlos parked the van too close to a parked car and couldn't open the door. Good thing he is so flexible!

The besties after the move... sweaty and sore, but still smiling.
