Looking forward to my own bed and furry buddies, but sad to leave still. After we packed up and got our coffee, we headed to the east village for brunch and shopping. (more…)

Running out of time inspired us to get up at a more decent hour so we could fit everything in before we left. First we headed to Gramercy Park to pick up Ellie and Danielle. (more…)

We really did mean to get up early on Friday and hit all the museums we possibly could.

But we didn’t. We got up late again. Which meant we didn’t have time for the 45 minute (each way) subway ride to the tip of the city to see the Cloisters. But I read the book later at the Met.

After we called Ellie, we headed out for museum day (not really my favourite pastime, but when in Rome..). (more…)

Lesson learned - when I drink cheap wine in dive bars I sleep like crap. We got up late again so had to haul ass to get out the door and on the town. We hit the Comfort Diner for what else but comfort food. Mmm…tuna melt, yam fries and coke.

We had decided today would be the day we check out a Broadway show so we headed to the TKTS booth. (more…)

Much more fun to be had on Day Two - shopping in Soho according to my pre-planned itinerary.

We got up late. Those steaks made us sleep a really long time - plus being on vacation we felt we deserved to sleep until 9 am Vancouver time. After gazing up at the beauty of Grand Central station like the tourists we were, we managed to figure out who to ask about how we take the subway to Soho.

Such a short post. On day one we flew to New York from Vancouver through the world’s suckiest airport in Ottawa where we were forced to eat at Nate’s since you now have to buy all your own food on Air Canada and your selections are limited to sandwiches and snacks. Cheap asses. The movie was “Rumour Has It” with Jennifer Aniston where she sleeps with a guy she previously thought could be her biodad. Creepy.
