After just two days in New York,
my love is rekindled...
which isn't saying much,
because who doesn't love that city?
which isn't saying much,
because who doesn't love that city?
One bite of the Big Apple
and I was reminded
just how delicious New York really is.
From the moment our plane flew over the Manhattan skyline...
To the first block we strolled...
From a perch above the hustle of Grand Central Station...
To the first bite of delicious food....
 |
| Deliciously fresh sushi at the no-frills basement-set Yama, 17th & Irving. |
And a sweet, calorie-stuffed ending to our day.
 |
| The "Cant Say No Sundae" at Serendipity. Peanut Butter Pie, Ice Cream, Hot Fudge & Banana = Yes. |
As we waited for the elevator at our hotel at the end of that night,
(the W Lexington Ave, which I can only give a B- rating),
a swelling emotion began to rise up in my chest.
Something that made me want to get online
and start looking up apartments that we could afford...
Something that made me want to go back into the night streets
and find another adventure.
Something that made me want to get a giant tattoo on my wrist that said:
I LOVE NY.
I'll be back with more shots of our trip,
some places that I love to visit when in Manhattan,
and a peek atthe pictures we had taken for our 5th anniversary!
Looks so fun! There is no place on earth like it...
ReplyDeletethis makes me a) want to move to NY and b) want sushi.

ReplyDeleteBonjour! Thank you for stopping by today and leaving a comment chez French Girl in Seattle. I am glad you found my blog... as this led me to yours. I love New York City too (in fact, I love most big cities ;-), and sushi is a staple in my weekly diet. This is promising. I can tell we have quite a few things in common. I will be following your blog starting today and looking forward to catching up on your previous posts! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
