I'm in NYC for the weekend attending BlogHer'10, and am loving it. In addition to the blogging conference, which doesn't make for very good pictures, Vermilion and I have been taking advantage of the city that never sleeps. I love being in a place where you can really start your evening out after all the conference sessions end at 7pm, and not feel strange about it.
Oh yeah, I ♥ NY
My mothership
It wouldn't be NYC without some celebrity sightings...blogging celebrities, that is - like Pioneer Woman.
One of my favorite painters - we stayed until the museum closed, when the security guards started muttering about the "free friday filth". Ha!
When Red and I lived here, we always saw the view of the skyline from the top of the world trade center because 1) it was the tallest building and 2) (and probably, most importantly, because we're cheap) we got a discount because Red worked in the building. Last night, I saw the view from the top of Rockefeller Center. Still impressive.
As we headed back to the hotel around 11:30pm, we saw two enormous lines of people on the street. Figuring they had to be gathered for something fabulous, we took a closer look. To our amazement, we had managed to run into The Halal Guys, serving fabulous food from a truck for $6. Topped off with a cupcake from The Magnolia Bakery, the perfect midnight dinner.
That's a muffin? I totally would love me some of that. I also loved the angry museum staff who are bitter about the free day.
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me want to move back. I love NY as well. Glad you had a good time at your conference, we miss you. Did you control yourself at Tiffany's, or should I apply for that second mortgage before you return?
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! Looks like a blast. Big muffins, expensive jewelry shopping sprees and a huge girl's weekend out! Glad you're loving it. :>
