Girl’s Weekend In New York City

Girls weekend in New York City…I’ll take this sort of travel anytime, even if it means snow! This past weekend I spent a wonderful several days in New York City with a dear friend Tania from the French blog Grange de Charme.

It was cold for this girl (me) who has lived in Miami for a very long time…but we had loads of fun, did lots of shopping, took many taxis, drank coffee, laughed a lot, ate some good (and not so good) food and saw many tourist sites.

SNOW! A big deal to me…since I hardly ever see it…

Snow quickly turns to slush in NYC.

We had a good meal at Balthazar, a first stop in this girls weekend in New York City.

Some gifts from Tania…including French magazines (my beach home is in the new Shabby Style:-), hand made treasures from her studio and macarons from Laduree. We didn’t have time to visit the Laduree in NYC, so I was glad to have these and gobbled them in a flash.

  1. FABULOUS!! Question: You said your hubby wants to move there if you ever win the lottery. And you said "not gonna happen". Which? Winning the lottery or moving to NYC? Cuz not winning the lottery I can forgive, but not wanting to live in NYC…. I dunno… 😉

    XOXO!
