{just a few more days…}

I’m excited for my little trip to NYC. There’s always that mix of anticipation and “omg, what if…” that gets me going before a trip. I’m still figuring out where I’m staying. I found a great place in Chelsea and another one in Midtown. Jesse of Morning Passages, whom I played with in elementary school, invited me to stay with her in Brooklyn. I’m not sure if to split my time by staying in Brooklyn for a few days and then Manhattan, or if to just stick in one spot.

I’ve been struck by fortune as two of my closest friends will be in town at the same time, completely by accident. B, whose wedding you will probably see on this blog come February, and Sasha of Little Pink Book will both be in NYC this weekend. I’ll be hanging out with Judy of Sunday Brunch. {Joy!} I’m also planning on brunch with Sasha and Lis of The Beauty File.

I’ve got a nice list of activities. I tend to make a plan to then throw it all to hell and go with the flow if it strikes me. But, I like to have my plan.. just in case.

Visit:
The Met
Find some good Jazz {Suggestions?}
The Guggenheim
Brooklyn Botanical
Brooklyn Heights
Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters
Central Park {Belvedere Castle}
The Highline

Shops:
Other than Topshop, I’ll be visiting boutiques and thrifts only, since I can find just about anything else I’d want in Florida with cheaper tax. {Suggestions welcome!}

Eats:
Smoke Jazz
NAYA
The Little Owl
GoBo
Nolita House
100 acre
Dirt Candy
Falai
Scarpetta

Other than that, I’ll be wandering around playing explorer and hoping to get photographed by the Sartorialist. {Ha!} Maybe I’ll wear a crown like Max of Where the Wild Things Are. What do you think?

  1. That is one of my most FAVORITE Chessa photos!! Can not wait to brunch with you two…I’m so excited to meet the Miami contingency!! Praying for good, sunny weather for you guys! Also, I would kind of die to be photographed by him…maybe we should each wear a pair of over-the-knee boots to cause a ruckus : )

    the weather here has been fab this week and I hope it stays that way for you girls!! btw, it’s my secret wish to be photographed by The Sartorialist…I just have to get out of the habit of wearing my jeans and tshirts when I’m out and out during the day! 🙂
    .-= Chessa!´s last blog ..Happy Birthday Dear Mamaaa…Happy Birthday to you! =-.

  3. May I suggest the Chelsea Hotel – it’s fabulously intimate and artsy. You’ll feel more like a resident than a “guest” there.

    Have fun!
