We took the train up. Very fun and relaxing (and cheap!) way to travel. Disclaimer now: I took almost all of the pictures of the two of us, so please ignore my arm in the pictures and feel free to be impressed with my abilities!
D outside our hotel - which he was not a fan of. It was a small boutique hotel (read: did not have a bar or lounge which D did not enjoy). Our room was TINY. Seriously was a rectangle and was as wide as a queen sized bed. Not an exaggeration.
Saturday, our first night there, we had dinner at Tolouche - a Mexican restaurant- and then saw Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre. This is a picture of me drinking a blueberry margarita - delish! We really enjoyed Wicked a lot.
Sunday, we started the day with a run (a very slow run) in Central Park. D was pretty geeked up about it cause he was getting to run in Central Park and it was the first time we had ever run together. It was cute. (These pics are from my phone and I don't know how to make them bigger)
We spent the rest of the day touring around downtown/lower Manhattan on one of those hop on, hop off tours. It was cold on top of that bus! I am pretty sure that we kept Starbucks in business during our trip - we ate breakfast there everyday and had numerous drinks throughout the day to keep warm.
My tourist-y pictures of the major sights.
We ate lunch at Lombardi's in Little Italy. They supposedly are the first pizza restaurant in the US. It was so delicious. One of the best things we ate.
We walked about half-way across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Dinner that night was at one of Mario Batali's restaurants, Babbo. It was super yummy Italian food.
After dinner that night we went up to the top of the Empire State's Building. It was so pretty to see the city all lit up at night. Unfortunately it was so windy that you really only wanted to stand on 2 of the 4 sides!
This is now so long that I am going to split our trip into numerous posts!
