Canal Street and a Long Lost Cousin
My 2nd cousin, Teresa, came down from her home upstate to visit the city. We haven’t seen each other in about 15 years (or so. we aren’t actually sure). We met at Bryant Park which has a really awesome Christmas market and an ice skating rink. It really wasn’t that crowded either. The shops are…

Read MoreDay of Gluttony aka Thanksgiving
We’ve been going nonstop since we moved in. Thanksgiving weekend was no exception. Husband was obsessed with going to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was not interested. I did, however, agree to go to see the balloons be blown up. Which solidified my decision not to attend the parade. It was bonkers. People and…
Read MoreTourist for 2 Days
Since our entire time in NYC has been spent unpacking and schlepping to IKEA, we haven’t been able to do much in the way of exploring. My inlaws came to visit for 2 days and we totally took advantage. The first day they were here we decided to get dinner and a show. When they…
