I went to several fun places on the trip. Even though I was feeling pretty miserable, New York City got into me and was a good distraction. I love that place! My dream is to have a little one-bedroom on the West Side that I can go to whenever the urge strikes. A girl can wish....
I ate lunch at Little Owl Restaurant with Tracey. There was an unusual amount of people gathering across the street and taking pictures...over and over again...it turns out the building was the exterior shot of Monica, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler's building on "Friends". So funny...people really wanted to see it!
I ate a salad and french fries...I was still in my "not-eating-I-am-too-sad" phase then.We also went to Purl and Purl Patchwork, where I ogled lots of awesome fabrics and Tracey signed up for a sewing class. The shops were soooooooo tiny, but totally neat and cute and, if you are into fabric and yarn, very yummy.
And I got to go to ABC Carpet, a home goods store I have been dying to see for a long time. It is like the mom of Anthropologie. It is huge, taking up an incredible chunk of NYC real estate, with multiple floors and another store across the street. Full of jewelry, clothes, bedding, rugs, housewares, lighting...ooooo, me likey.
Hannah and I got caught in a big thunderstorm one night, where in the space of five minutes all the thousands of people walking, eating, drinking, chatting and skateboarding on the streets disappeared into the thousands of cabs that magically materialized...we couldn't get one to save our lives, so we walked back to the car and got nice and soaked. It was fun, though.
More to come...nothing here is about beauty products. Hmmm. I'll work on that.
And if anyone can tell me how to make the photos next to each other here, I'd love to hear it!
