Autumn in New York

NEW YORK!
We just returned from another fabulous trip to NYC! As it is fairly obvious that I am fan of photos, I need not warn you about the massive overload you are about to witness.

Chris & I saved up all of our 'vacation' time for October, since the summer was full of bar review & all. After Boston, we hopped on a plane to NYC to spend a week with Ammon, Lauren, & Carlo. The first day Chris & I spent just the two of us, we hit up MOMA, Central Park, I lost my phone (again! ugh!), we explored, took a nap in our fabulously comfy hotel bed, bought a new phone, had dinner with Carlo, hugged Amms (who just arrived home from a work trip), & crashed (in our fabulously comfy hotel bed).

MOMA
Monet, Van Gogh, etc are all on display at MoMa...as well a few other...um, interesting artists. (that's something I did NOT photograph, Chris did with his iPhone if you are really interested, ask him)



pretty right? look below for some very rad detail..


Central Park



DAY 2
Lauren arrives!!!
We went to Max Brenner's which was so delicious! A definite NYC must! Then had a yummy Venezuelan dinner to complete the night. (oh and spotted some celebs while on our outings)

all the cute shops on the corners with flowers outside..

DAY 3
Chris, Lauren & I went to the Natural History Museum. Chris & Lauren read & learned..I am more of a "look & learn" type. After the museum, we wandered through Central Park, ate at the Boathouse, got a rowboat & rowed on the lake in Central Park, went to the Jersey Boys show, and finished off the night with some delicious desert @ Juniors Bakery.
I've always wanted to take a boat out on the lake, so I was really excited! It did not disappoint! We had a blast! Lucky us, Ammon treated us to Jersey Boys, what a sweetheart!!
It was an awesome show!! I recommend it!

Rain, Food, Rain. Repeat.
We braved the rain & got some NY pizza, roamed shops, visited Ammon @ work, and then enjoyed some NY take out & snuggled in.

DAY 5
Rain! (again)
Lunch in the meat packing district @ Pastis (yum!), roaming the city, shopping in SoHo, & home for some Brazilian home cookin'!

I thought this was so cute

Two things:

1. you are all ridiculously attractive.

2. I have decided that we need to move back to the city. I miss it so much sometimes I want to cry.

It looks like you guys had the best week.

Awesome! I didn't realize how many beautiful places Central Park had. I totally want to go have a photo shoot there!

Very cool. Those birch trees made from newspaper and sheet music were amazing. This post will serve as our travel in a few years when we hit up the Atlantic coast in Fall.

I've never been to NEW YORK. I am so jealous you love it there and had such a good time. I ask for a trip to NY for my birthday and got Santa Barbara instead....
Maybe next year!
Beautiful pictures!
You are so beautiful!
