After a few days home in Princeton, Joey and I decided to take a little day trip to NYC on Monday while the rest of the family was off at work.
Well rested from a combination of getting to bed early and a couple pre planned tylenol pm's, we got up and off to the Princeton town train station (the "dinky" as it's referred to. hehe) then to the Princeton Junction headed for NYC Penn Station by 1pm.
After arriving in the city we caught the metro, always a fun adventure, for Madison and 79th. Lunch at Serafina was the perfect first stop for these hungry bellies! I ordered an ice coffee (had to keep the energy level up!) and Joey a coke with lemon, then we split the burrata tomato basil appetizer, a spinach salad for me and a napolenatana (anchovy) pizza for Joey. Yum!
After making reservations for our return on Friday, but this time with our entire family, we were off for a nice leisurely stroll through central park. The weather was just perfect!
A visit to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree, window browsing on 5th, chocolates, and then meeting up with Pammy (since she works for Loreal, she was able to work from the city on Monday, lucky girl!) at Bryant Park...there we sat for a little bit and watched the families ice skate. The holiday energy in the city is one of the best in the world....so magical and warm :)
From there we hopped in a cab to BLT Burger (6th ave btwn 11th and 12th) to meet up with all of our nyc friends.
In my opinion, one of the best life gifts...is the gift of friendship. Looking around the table at these wonderfully beautiful faces, inspires so much kindness in love in my heart. We love you all more than you can imagine...and are grateful every day for your amazing friendships.
