New York City is one fabulous city, that is for sure. From the Meatpacking District with Chelsea market, trendy restaurants (Pastis anyone?) and wine bars galore...to Greenwich village where hoards of NYU students mull around the main fountain square trying to look smart and edgy...to the upper East Side where princesses with big diamonds and little dogs push their bugaboos to cappuccino dates and Tiffany. We covered some serious ground up and down the island - and ate everything from upscale Italian to the cheapest, greasiest slice of pizza we could find.
Josh, our friend from Zurich who is now living in St. Louis, met us in the City for the weekend. It was so great to see him - it was like no time had gone by. We caught up over beers at dodgy Irish pubs, dinners in obscure bistros and even caught Phantom of the Opera on Broadway (so good) and the hilarious Toxic Avenger off Broadway (starring American Idol's Diana de Garmo who has some serious pipes).
No telling how long it will be before we're back again - but until then at least we can dream about living in a Brownstone and strolling around a sunny Central Park on Sundays!
