Got back last night from a long weekend in NYC! I went with a friend who has never been to New York and we had a really good time. This is the first time in more than two years that I have been gone from home for more than a couple of nights - I look after my elderly mom and I am at the mercy of my sister to stay with Mom so I can go away.
My brother's company has this little studio apt right in Manhattan and he let us stay there - it was great! Really close to the subways. We took a tour, saw all the sights - walked around ALOT - strolled (part of ) Central Park, shopped in Bloomingdales, saw a Broadway show (Guys and Dolls), ate NYC style Pizza at John's. My friend is a Kate Spade handbag freak so we went to one of the NY stores on 5th Ave and she bought a bag!
Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) at dusk - sooooo pretty!!!!
I've been to NY many times -- she and I had talked about this quite often... and we finally did it. She loved it - she already has a list of things to do the NEXT time!
My boyfriend sulked a little bit, but hey, he had just spent a week in Utah cross country skiing w/o ME, so......
