I just can't hide it.... (insert me dancing around hands waving wildly over my head)for months a girlfriend and I have been planning a trip to New York for ourselves, our husbands, and 4 couples. This is somewhere I have hoped to go since I was a little girl. In 24 hours I will be on my way! ahhhh...
Never having been there, Robbin and I have been busy making sure we see and do all the things that will make this an awesome trip. Of course we are doing Top of The Rock, The Today show, the Twin Towers memorial, Tiffany's, St Patrick's Cathedral, Time Square, etc... We also found out about some great places from friends who have been and we have lots we planned.
I had thought of asking this little cutie where to go for a sweet treat or two, but with her brother under the weather, I thought it best not to bug. I found an online link to the best New York cupcakes. who'da thought?! That should make for some pretty pictures!
We have dinner reservations at Buddakan in the Meat Packing District (perhaps we will run into SJP filming Sex & The City), Brunch reservations at Tavern on The Green (my fav!!!!! remember Marsha Mason in Only When I Laugh? oh, the last scene of the movie is shot in the dinning room, and it has stayed with me since then), we'll take a carriage ride through the park, have tickets to Spring Awakening Sunday evening, a food tour in Greenwich Village on Monday, Dinner reservations at Peter Luger's, and yet another dinner at La Mela's in Little Italy. Guido, my Italian~wanna~be~mafia husband is so looking forward to that. Maybe we will run into some relatives from the old country. Maybe he'll just pretend to be Tony Supprano.
I'll be home in time to head to Nebraska for Silver Bella. Until then, please think good thoughts, pray, or meditate for our safe travels. I'll be sure and share the fun photo's when we get back. Big Apple here I come!!!
15 of you had this to say:
I wanna go...your post makes me want to plan trip for us! Sounds so fun...are you going to Tinsel Trading? Thats one of the places I would want to see in person! You will have a grrrrreat time.
YIPPEE!
What a Wonderful trip you all have planned!!!
I have one recomendation...Statue of Liberty.
You can see it from Brooklyn (heights?) Anywho, it is a most magnificent sight to behold! And perhaps "Guido" had relatives that actually came to America this way!!!? Very Romantic.
Wishing you many traveling blessings!
Hugs,
Mary
It sounds like so much fun. I have never been to NYC either. At least not yet but someday. Don't forget Times Square and the Statue of Liberty.
if you like Chinese food you have to go to China town. If I was going to NY that would be the first place I would want to go. Have a great time!
I wish you good thoughts and the best time ever!!! Cant wait to see pics when you return! Laurie
