Another Lovely Day in the City

Some people crave the countryside or dream about a day on the beach.  Me?  I'm a city girl - specifically New York.  There's always an energy and craziness there that just makes me happy.  I can feel it in my bones.  I may whine about the people and the crowds and the prices, but deep down I know NYC wouldn't be NYC without those things.  It really has my heart - NYC and London share it and sometimes vie for space. 

This week NYC is winning.  All I need is a day trip and I'm back in love. This week was nothing special, but that's the best thing about NY.  You don't have to do much to get the real New York experience.  Just seeing the lights in Times Square makes you feel like your in a movie or at the very least an episode of Friends. And that's just the best feeling ever!

Schedule for a near perfect (there were a few rain drops so it wasn't 100% perfect...) day in NYC:
Chelsea Market for No. 1 Tacos (So good!)
Lunch somewhere new (HB Burger this time around - you really can go somewhere new every single time and never hit all the great spots in NYC!)  Then dessert at Magnolia Bakery - Their banana pudding is my downfall!)
Something Rotten! for the second time - still awesome!
Brick Oven Pizza in Hell's Kitchen
Shopping for Schmakeray's Cookies, Theatre Circle books, and Sephora makeup
A quick trip down to Times Square then it's off to the bus (preferably not Mega Bus again - Awful!!!)

Sleep all the way home while you dream happy thoughts of the city that never sleeps : )
 Chelsea Market


 Oops, forgot to add a macaron snack in my list of NY perfection


 Surprisingly this is 2 different sides of the same Christmas tree.  Apparently, the tree taker-downers are quite methodical in their undressing...



 Love!
 The Bestie and I had an argument about these grates.  She thought it was weird that I thought they were cute.  At the very least, they're unexpectedly fun, right?



 Notice the skeptical look on Bestie's face - some dude had just asked us for money.  At least we think he did - he may have been trying to give us money from a can too; he sort of just mumbled and shook the can.
