This is my FAVE pic of all the ones I took.
I just got this printed poster size so I could frame it.
This one as well... framing!
Anyways... my trip was SOOOOOO much fun!! It reminded me out how much I love city life.
Thursday night when I arrived W and I went to a Mexican restaurant near Times Square, it was really good. Next we walked around Times Square. It is so bright! And so many people!
Then we met M at Serendipity III. I got some peanut butter frozen hot chocolate.
Friday (my birthday!!!) W and I went out a bus tour of downtown. That is where most of the pictures came from. We saw so much! It was nice not to have to walk all over the city and see everything. Our tour guide was a hoot. She gave all of her personal touches to each site.
For lunch we went to Num Pang for some Cambodian sandwiches. Beef brisket sandwich... TDF!! And some watermelon juice.
We then when on a harbor tour around Manhattan. We saw everything from the boat. It was really neat! We got as close as you could to the Statue of Liberty right now. Lady Liberty is a beautiful lady. This tour guide wasn't as good. We heard all about his dislike for NY elite/rich. Besides that, really cool to see everything by boat.
For dinner we went to Cien Fuegos for rum punch and Cuban food. The punch was served in antique punch sets and full of a TON of booze. Yum!! The food... crispy avocados and beef emapanadas also TDF!
We then went to Lillie's W and M's favorite NY establishment. Company and the drinks were amazing... couldn't have asked for a better birthday.
Saturday we walked around Central Park. Everything was so green! Such perfect weather to take a stroll in the park. After that, W and I went shopping (more like window shopping) on 5th Ave. and in Soho.
Lunch we went to Tacombi... they serve tacos out of a VW bus. And the tacos were amazing!! And believe it or not... more watermelon juice!
For dinner we went to Bleecker St. Pizza... supposedly the best pizza in NY. And I'd have to say it as pretty good. I could eat all the food I had every, single day.
Saturday evening we went on a "dive bar" car crawl. It was quite interesting. PKNY first, The Library, Double Down Saloon (birthplace of "Ass Juice"), tried to go to McSorley's, and went to a British Pub. And of course ended the night at Lillie's
Sunday was brunch at Harlem Public. I got the sandwich... peanut butter, honey, banana, cream cheese, raspberry preserves on thick bread. So good!!!
Then to the airport I went. It was sad to leave! I had so much fun, ate sooooo much good food. Thanks to W and M for their wonderful hospitality!!
