Got myself out of Massachussetts and down to New York to visit Aunt Joyce, Uncle Bobby and Scott. They were wonderful to tour me around including a day at the beach. Which unfortunately went poorly due to being bombarded by flies. We were forced to move poolside away from the nipping flies and enjoy some sunshine and cocktails. Lets just say we quickly got over the change in plans
Also made it into NYC. This city is a lot of fun! We wandered around quite a bit and saw several different areas. Starting off with some time in SoHo
While touring around the city we stumbled across a photo shoot for a Tiffany's commercial. Will have to watch for it this winter
Saw a few relatively newer places in the city including Eataly a market place with a variety of restaurants and shops. We then ventured over to Chelsea Market where we had a delicious lunch. After lunch we walked the High Line, an old railway track that has been converted into a green space.
The High Line was featured in one my recent Nat'l Geographic magazines so it was fun to see it.
We then made our way over towards Rockefellar Center. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse so were forced to seek shelter and couldn't tour around this area as much as we would have liked
Saw Times Square from a distance
Ended the trip by catching up with my friend and one of my original Boston roomies at a bar called "House of Brews". The bartender told me that I was a lush and offered me a beer on the house. Thought this was really funny. I'm sure my mom is going to be really proud : )
