I’m in New York for the week. My friend Jessica and her boyfriend rent a tiny NYC apartment, and they’re being gracious enough to let me crash on their couch (and commandeer the fridge). It’s pretty crowded and is going to get even more crowded later in the week when S flies in for a few days, but we’ve had a lot of fun so far!

When are you coming back Katie, I miss you and your posts!
NYC is great! So many fun places to see and experience – best shopping havens, many art galleries, lively bar scene, great restaurants. There’s just something for everyone!
When I first read this post, I thought I would never be going to NYC. Now I am going in two weeks, thanks to a last minute business trip for my husband. I can’t wait to get there and try some of these places. Thanks so much for your blog!
