New York part 1

Saturday I met up with J, C, and M. We went to Sugar Sweet Sunshine for cupcakes. We walked around, looking at some cute stores (and saw Blake Lively out shopping!).


(anchor I saw out shopping)

Then for dinner we went to Lombardi's Pizza (which claims to be America's first pizzeria).

Sunday my sister and I met up with her high school boyfriend in the West Village. It turns out N lives literally 3 apartments down from Carrie Bradshaw's Sex and the City apartment!



We went to brunch at Westville where I had delicious French toast. Then we got to meet N's English bull dog puppy (so cute) and walked down to the river because the weather was so nice.

(N was trying to get Olivia to look up but that didn't really work)

We said goodbye to N and Olivia and my sister and I headed to shop. We walked through Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman. We had lunch at the burger place inside Le Parker Meridien. It was packed but definitely worth the wait! (since I am a vegetarian I got the grilled cheese-yum!)
. After a late lunch and some down time in the hotel my sister and I headed to see In the Heights on Broadway. It was kind of a combination of Rent and West Side Story. Great dancing and singing. I really wanted to see Little Mermaid too but we ran out of time!

Monday we went to breakfast at Alice's Tea Cup. I think it would be so fun to have an Un-birthday party there ;) Then we headed to Lilly. The Lilly jeep was parked outside!



Yep, I forgot my cute monogrammed umbrella and had to buy this boring one. PLUS I also couldn't fit my Lilly swellies into my suitcase :(

We also stopped into Olive and Bettes (so sad they aren't selling online anymore) and Steven Alan on our way to Popover Cafe. Popovers are a family tradition for us (every Christmas morning) so we always stop in.

For dinner we met my sister's college friend S at Bianca. Afterwards we stopped for cupcakes at Tonnie's Minis. Then we went back to her apartment and met Ella the rabbit (I think I want a bunny now)!



Unfortunately C went back to Boston and J and M have class (their spring break is next week) so I probably won't see them again this trip. So glad I got to spend Saturday with them though.

**those of you coming for Martha-be prepared for rain and cold!**

    Whew! You have done more in a few days then I do in a month :)
    Don't forget the lower East side! Soho is a must. But if you are staying uptown, Bloomindales and Barney's Baby!

    I used to love the grilled cheese at burger joint (pre-vegan days)! How incredily yummy is that. Next time you must go to Shake Shack for the Shroom Burger -- fried mushroom injected with cheese

    I love Carrie's step. Even better?
    Sarah Jessica Parker's real life step. Haha. Yuppp...I am so a creeper like that. I just can't help it. Oh well.

    Umm...and that Lilly jeep? LOVES it. Totally.
