Day 2 Central Park and Macys

What a wonderfully exhausting day. We set out about 9 to run in the park. It was a beautiful morning and the park was very busy. Apparently Al Pacino was going to be doing Shakespere in the Park this evening and the tickets were about to go on sale.. The park was also full of many runners, walkers, bikers and tourists. We saw parts of the park that I never knew existed. The highlight was Strawberry Fields across the street from John Lennon's apartment house. We then ventured to 67th and Columbus where they tape Regis and Kelly hoping to get a glimpse of some stars. But instead we found out how to go to the show tomorrow morning. After walking the 20 blocks back home we cleaned up. had lunch (egg sandwiches) and then embarked on the subway. We rode to Penn Station and then my husband (who is always the shopper) wanted to go to Macys....Yes, all 16 floors, and a basement. We shopped, had makeovers, were spritz with every new cologne and perfume on the market and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves....to exhaustion. I left empty handed because I just couldn't part with $80.00 for an amazing pair of crazy shoes. Maybe tomorrow..Back uptown to the apartment for a quick freshing up and a glass of vino and then off to dinner at a sidewalk Italian restaurant (Nonna's) on C0lumbus Ave. It's off to bed now...because we have Regis and Kelly at 6 am....til tomorrow!!

Day 1

Well we made it to the city...flights were great. With a 15 minute cab ride from the airport we met Debbie outside our apartment with a bottle of champagne, only to find another one waiting for us in the frig with a nice note. After picking her brain about all of the wonderful places to eat and shop in the neighborhood she left us on our own to explore. Which we did...trying out the local pizza place, market and wine shop. Also got to know our doorman Russell....It's a little warm so we turned up the air and are looking foward to a good nights sleep....It's suprisingly very quiet...til tomorrow..

Tomorrow is the big day!

We leave tomorrow - June 29th at 7:30am for my month long vacation in New York City. I am still busy packing and getting last minute items. My daughter is setting me up with this blog so I can chronicle my trip day by day....
