Weekend in New York City: the highlights

Here are a few highlights from our weekend in New York City...

Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, which I'd never done before. 

 Dinner & drinks at this place was amazing.

 Walking home from dinner we stumbled upon two things on my "to-see" list: Magnolia Bakery and Carrie Bradshaw's apartment!

 I loved walking through the market at Union Square

 And eating macaroons on top of my sister-in-law's apartment in the heart of the city... what a view!


The raw bar at Blue Water Grill was definitely a highlight.
Man I love oysters!

Finally, the weather! It was 28-30 degrees celsius and sunny all weekend. No kidding people love this city!
All in all, it was a glorious few days in new york. 
There just never seems to be enough time to do and see everything we plan... but it's always so much fun, and we always seem to come back for more.

NYC looks pretty freaking great. I haven't been since I was a kid, and I've been trying to convince my husband that we need to go there this fall. My best friend from college has been living there for about a year, so I'm dying to see her and explore the city. Husband thinks trips to California in July and Mexico in November is enough travel... but I'm not giving up on the NYC idea yet! Your trip sounds amazing.
