As you may know I’m pretty sure I have the best husband in the world. This June I turned 30. Yup… Im there. good-bye twenties, you will be missed. To mark this occasion my super-fabulous hubby gave me something I have always wanted. A trip to NYC!
On the morning of my birthday I woke up to;
– Frank Sinatra singing ‘new york new york’
– an atlas opened to the NewYork state page.
– and one very excited husband
Though it was only 6:30 in the morning I started yelling, and may have even done an I’m-going-to-New-York dance. Yes thats right I (me, Janine) LEAPT OUT OF BED AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING. Those of you that know me well will know that basically only christmas morning can produce this rarely seen effect. But there I was, shaking it to Frank pre-coffee. And so began a week’s worth of ‘what should we do in NYC chats?’ I solicited advice on Facebook from friends, texted, bought guide books and googled. and then…. we were off.
Here is the first half of our 3 day NYC whirlwind… more to follow when I take the next editing break 🙂
I took approximately a gazillion pictures of the Guggenheim
Did you know there was a rooftop garden at the Met?
Grand Central is as busy as they say.
Bryant Park, where free movies are shown every monday night.
They also serve deliciousness in the form Strawberry Margs at the Bryant Park Grill
Graeme actually discovered Bryant Park was his heaven on earth. it has;
The original NYC Library branch in a beautiful old building, free movies in the park & free board games anyone can sign out and play, all housed in a beautiful downtown park.
It was pride weekend in NYC, I liked Lululemon’s sign the best, but there were tons!
Ah Chelsea Market, this may have been my heaven, fresh local mostly organic deliciousness.
This sign was actually in the Chelsea Market “Wine’s with Funny names” we thought it was hilarious, because Savoie is a friend of ours last name. So for you Jolene.
Hipster husband. well not really, carrying my hat for me. just on his head.
Fabulous!! I too would love to go! I had no idea NYC was clean, bright, uncrowded and even traditionally scenic. It was also a treat to see that my son has learned how to take wonderful portraits!
It was all of the above. And he is getting pretty good isn’t he?!?!? I might have to offer him a job….
Fantastic collection! What a photogenic place, when you know where to look. Super proud that a few from Intuition’s Junior Vice President made it in there!
Great pictures! I love train stations.
