New York, New York

Can I tell you how much I adore New York? It is by far one of my favorite cities I have visited so far. Last week I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in New York enjoying everything it had to offer (well let's be serious, not everything). Wednesday we arrived and went and found a bar (duh) and enjoyed some time with our dear friend and some of the musicians we had brought along for one of the events we attended.

Wednesday night we had dinner at Gotham Bar and Grill. The food was so freaking good I can't even describe it. I was in heaven. Travel took the day out of me, so I ended up in bed way before the others, but they all had a great night out.

Thursday Kate, Al and I spent most of the day running around Times Square. We got pictures at all the fun Christmas stuff they have decorating the town. We strolled down the diamond district practically drooling over every ring, necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings we saw. Holy cow, I swear we both picked out like 50 different things that we just have to have.





Thursday afternoon took us to 21 Club for lunch. 21 Club is one of the first prohibition bars and the atmosphere is so fun. Lunch was ok, but the company was great. I had such a good time getting to know a few more faces and making some new friends. I ended up leaving a littler early to meet a new friend of mine so that I could continue to tour the city. He and I went to see the tree at Rockefeller Center (something I have always wanted to see). It is just as awesome as I expected it to be. We then made our way to Central Park and other places throughout the city before having to go back to our hotels to get ready for the formal party.



Thursday night the crew met at Marquee Night Club for drinks, dinner, some great music, and more socializing. Marquee is really pretty and we had the whole thing to ourselves so it was nice to have lots of space. Kate and I wore our long formal dresses which we LOVE. After Marquee we headed over to PJ Clarkes for another drink and to meet with more people who we know/met in New York. By far my favorite night in New York this trip.




Friday was the day we had to leave, but not before we had lunch at Le Cirque. The food here was so good. I havent laughed so much in so long. We met some man who offered to fly us back up to NYC andput us up in a nice hotel for New Years... tempting, but dont worry, we are not going.



Our flight was at 7 and we had still not left the restaurant by 5. We were convinced we would miss our flight considering we still had to get our bags from the hotel. We found the best cab driver ever who raced us through the city and got us to the airport by 6. It was amazing. We even made it in time to enjoy some champagne and icecream in the airport. A great end to a great trip.

My thoughts on moving there are still there so dont be shocked if one day Im telling you I'm moving up north.

New York will always have a piece of my heart and I hope that this time around it isnt a year between visits. Until next time New York City.
