Weekly Winners #48 - A weekend in the Big Apple

A Weekly Winners WITHOUT snaps of kids?! Here?! Who woulda thunk?!

Here's a pictorial tour of our whirlwind weekend in NYC:

A Room with a View


Times Square by Day

Times Square by Night


Here's our attempt at a vlog:




(and no disrespect to New Yorkers, actually we encountered the friendliest people there. It was just the Times Square, touristy comment. It was the tourists not saying "hello". )


Greenwich Village


Soho


Nolita


Irony


Grand Central and Chrysler Building


Park Avenue


Dinner at Gramercy Tavern:


Museum of Modern Art:

Picasso


Christina's World


Klimt


Warhol


Funny


A drink at Les Halles just past noon, complete with Moules Mariniere of course
(we love Anthony Bourdain...)




And then there was more amazing food at La Bottega (black pasta with octopus in spicy tomato sauce... mmm), scrumptious snacks at Dean & Deluca ...

And of course shopping and more shopping.

The kids want to come with us next time. They can't believe we didn't visit Toys R Us again.

We cannot disappoint, right? (Next time cannot come soon enough.)

For other winners, visit LOTUS.

These just make me want to go there even more! The oldest wants to go to the city so bad. Wish flights were a cheap as they used to be, we'd do a day trip.

Sounds like you had a great time.

My absolute favorite place on earth :) I loved these shots! And loved the Vlog. Looks like you guys really toured the city and stopped at some wonderful places. What an amazing time. So glad you guys had a chance to getaway!

Now you made me want to visit NYC again! I do love it there...

And yes, I think the honking thing is SO funny! (but good!)

Unknown said...

Nice pictures!
I visited New York 13 years ago (!) and I so want to visit it again!

The one and only time I visited NYC, I was with my step-mom's family and it was. not. a good situation. I'd love to visit again someday without all that angst and yuckiness floating around!

The pictures are great...to spend a day or three at MOMA would be about a step away from Heaven, I think. The K-man has a list of jazz clubs he wants to visit....maybe someday!!
what a great way to vacation!!

Kori said...

That looks like so much fun! Who knew that NY could be beautiful...perhaps I have lived in Idaho too long.

Freakin' awesome. You guys are so cute at the end of that video! Sounds like you had an awesome time!

Heidi said...

Wow, sounds like you had a wonderful time with hus in NYC.
I also love your flashback photos in your previous post. I also had braces and was really shy. I am glad my kids are not shy.

Miss said...

You two are just SO adorable. Have you heard that before? ;-)

Looks like you had a blast!

I could spend all day at the MoMa. You really crammed a lot into a weekend!

Kellan said...

How fun - I am sooooo jealous! I have never been to NY, except to fly through or get on a cruise ship! I'd love to go to all of those spots in NY - you lucky girl!

Take care - Kellan
