Phish at Randall's Island

Randall's Island is a park in on what is mostly and island in the East River. The park holds outdoor concerts for the public's enjoyment. Last Saturday, the park hosted Phish, a band that is known and praised for their incredible musical improvisations. We had a lot of friends from UGA come into the city for the weekend to stay with us and attend the concert. On Saturday morning, we woke up early and went to a brunch at a Mexican restaurant called Agave. Their brunch special includes bottomless Passionfruit Mimosas, Mojitos, and Red Sangria for a fixed price. I ordered the egg and avocado skillet, which was delicious. After brunch was over, we ventured back to our apartment to print out our tickets and get ready for the show. We had to leave around 5:00 to catch the subway to Randall's Island because we knew there were going to be extremely long lines and the show started at 7:00 pm. We all got into the show successfully, and even were able to weave our way through the crowd to meet up with even more UGA people that weren't staying at our apartment. We ended up getting pretty close to the stage, and we throughly enjoyed every minute of the concert. It's really great that the city of New York is able to preserve this park the way that they do and hopefully I will be able to attend another concert there in the near future.
