After walking up and down Rodeo, the boys really wanted to venture over to some sneaker stores so we headed to Melrose Avenue to check out Cool Kicks. It was…cool.
And look what they had! The reverse grinches! In Spencer’s size too!
We then walked up and down the area – lots of vintage stores.
Samantha’s face here tells you what you need to know about the musty smell!
I can’t say I loved seeing this display of “vintage” New Kids shirts considering this was my first concert and I definitely had that Jordan shirt. Guess I’m vintage now!
This was cool though!
We then made it back to the hotel for a little coke break…
before getting dressed up for an early bird NYE dinner!
We had dinner at Mastro’s Steakhouse and it was excellent! Like I said, Maxwell thoroughly enjoyed his meal – which consisted of a Japanese A5 Wagyu steak! He ate every single bite!
Samantha had – what else? – mac & cheese!
Spencer had steak and then somehow ended up with an entire bowl of whipped cream in front of him for dessert. He wasn’t complaining – and no one was complaining about the butter cake!
After dinner, Robert and Spencer figured out they won their fantasy league! Woohoo!
Icing on the cake to end a fantastic meal! We then wandered back to the hotel taking in the sights along the way.
A fantastic end to a fantastic 2023! We made the most of the year and cannot wait to see what 2024 brings!!
What a great New Year’s Eve!
For those curious…
Japanese Wagyu is the pinnacle of the steak world and A5-grade the rarest of all steaks, less than 1% of total Japanese production.
I had it as well and no steak knife needed. Truly amazing steak, but too fatty to eat often. M and I were smiling with each bite.
