i never got a chance to blog favorite pics from our little nyc trip, and i wanted to...
...so here they are!
...catching a cab outside our hotel on night 1 - nyc at night is THE BEST.
on all of our nyc trips over the years... one thing we've never done...
...is walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
So we did while we were there last month. And the fall-ish weather was so perfect for it.
("selfie-style" photo taken with my fish-eye lens).
& I'm so glad we made it a point to do this, bc i loved it.
i also loved lunch at Republic - which i insisted that Eric try (after having kp introduce me to it a few years ago). he agreed that it was delish. ;)
& On sunday morning, I realized that eric was going to be spending most of the day in the hotel room (with food poisoning - word to the wise, don't eat lamb from a vending truck at 2am in nyc) - so i took myself out on a little wandering-style walking tour around our hotel and found NBC studios. There were lots of tourists walking in, so i did too. And then I followed them all downstairs to the admission line for what turned out to be...
...the MOST AMAZING view of nyc. Top of the Rock.
Now i only had my little point n shoot with me on my 'wandering adventure' - but it ended up being perfect.
the wide angle views of the city were stunning.
and after seeing the top of the rock, i wandered down to 5th ave, shopped, and then finally met up with eric, who recovered just in time for the wedding we went to that evening in central park.
After the wedding ended, we decided that our little trip to nyc would not be complete without visiting times square at night. I have ALWAYS loved times square. & I know that's so tourist-y of me, but i really don't care. ;)
(pizza is a much better midnight snack choice than lamb!)
and on the way to the airport, we stopped (with our luggage!) at shakeshack. bc we had heard that it was super-tasty...
...AND IT WAS! ;)
And we even got to see kp for all of 15 minutes before we had to run off...
...almost missing our flight, but thankfully not, to see our cutie boys waiting on us back home.
:)
I love NYC. there is no place else like it.

So fab! I've got to be better about taking photos when I travel. Actually, anytime. :)

Susan, my daughter and I are going the week after Thanksgiving and your fabulous pictures and itinerary are making me so excited! I cannot agree with you more about NYC being the best at night. I love the view from top of the Empire State Bldg at night! I think this time, though, we will go to Top of the Rock and experience that. I hope it isn't too cold to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, which looks wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing. P.S. So sorry Eric got sick - that is no fun at all! My husband and I just got back from a trip to CA and he got food poisoning while there so I can totally relate.

have a GREAT time angie! i highly recommend top of the rock - so glad that i ended up stumbling upon it. also - they had a ticket deal where you can go back at sunset the same day (i didnt do it bc we had a wedding to attend) but i thought it was an interesting idea for great photo ops!
