NYC

this past weekend, my friend Emily and I flew up to NYC for a quick girls weekend. we had so much fun once we got there! (which was after United cancelled our flight from Richmond to Dulles and us getting in the car to bust it up to Dulles to catch our flight to Newark...NOT a good way to start the trip. the good news? it usually takes about 2 hours and 10 min to get there (it's pretty far west of DC and 95) and we made it in a hour and 20. thank you psychotic drivers on 95 for setting the pace:)). the flights in general were just terrible this trip. never ever ever flying USAir and United again. ever.

once we got up there, we brunched, shopped, went to dinner and to the Hotel Chantalle, shopped some more, brunched some more....you get the idea. i hadn't spent tons of time in Chelsea, Soho, and the West Village (we usually stay on the upper east side and hang there and in midtown), so it was super fun to explore those neighborhoods!

here's some pics of the weekend....

brunch of champions

Em + I at brunch with Sarah + Derek...ignore the sweaty faces. we'd just come from a long walk in hot temps. not exactly the cute dewy look we were attempting to achieve.

cute little park in the West Village

the Freedom Tower under construction

some plans wrote United We Stand in the sky...crazy cool


it was our friend, Sarah's, birthday last week so we got to celebrate with her Saturday night. we went to dinner at Co-op on the lower east side then on to Hotel Chantalle (which was so crowded, even though we got bottle service, that you couldn't even move your arms...much less take pics).

sunday, before we headed home, I got to meet up with my cousin who lives in the West Village-so jealous-and I hadn't seen him since my sister's wedding. um..not okay. we met up at his place then went to eat at Dos Caminas-which was out of this world amazing. maybe the best brunch I've ever had. i'm so bummed that I didn't get any pics...we literally attacked our food as soon as it was on the table. yikes. i'm sure everyone around was like ummm, have these people not eaten? like ever? oh well:) 

Mike + I at Dos Caminos (also please ignore the baggy sweatshirt that was 2 sizes too big. we'd had a late night the night before and this girl wasn't up to dressing cute. it was alll about comfort on sunday)


Next up, CHICAGO! Let the jetsetting fall begin!
