Thursday: Flew in (P.S. jetBlue may possibly be my new fave airline), had a few slices of pizza at 11:30 at night, and took a carriage ride through Central Park. Our "tour guide" was fantastic, pointing out certain attractions like the Trump Tower which is "owned by Donald Trump. He owns other buildings in the city." Looks like $50 in NYC just doesn't get you as far as it does down South.
Friday: Found a cute place for breakfast, hit Fifth Avenue, oggled at Tiffany's (where my classy husband yells out "Oh my God! This necklace costs $715,000!), ate dinner at Thalia's and then saw Martin Short's Fame Become Me, which was hilarious. I never knew Martin Short was such a talented person. He had a guest star show up - Goldie Hawn, who looks fabulous. I guess that's what a little surgery can do. Met some friends out at a bar after the show.
Saturday: Despite the line that literally wrapped around the Empire State Building,
James' friend, who works in the building, was able to get us past the lines and right to the top! Talk about celebrity status! The view was amazing. Ate lunch in the West Village at Chat 'n Chew and then hit Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree and skaters. Very charming. For dinner, met up with Elizabeth, Chris, Carson, and Christine at Tao (alas, no celebrity sitings), had a few too many mojitos and grapefruit martinis and hit a little of the NYC scene.
Sunday: Brunched in SoHo and did a little shopping. Got a cool necklace at one of the sidewalk vendors. Took a harrowing cab ride to JFK and said our goodbyes.
It was a great trip (when is a trip to NYC not?). Now I'm trying to convince Scott to buy a small little apartment in the city - our "city" escape, if you will. Still working on that...
