Last Friday, the BF and I spent the night in NYC en route to a wedding in Hyde Park, New York. We had a wonderful time taking in the sights and smells of the city. We toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art and had cocktails on their swank rooftop garden which features a breath-taking view of the city. From the roof, you can even catch a glimpse of those magical penthouses of the Upper East Side…a girl can dream, can’t she?

Must be nice!
For dinner we took a taxi to the West Village and had dinner at La Ripaille, a charming French restaurant with fabulous food and service. For dessert we walked to the famed Magnolia Bakery and stocked up on cupcakes: banana, chocolate, and butter cream. We headed back to midtown, ate a few cupcakes, and checked out the bar scene.

On Saturday we did a little shopping and even stopped by the Mothership a.k.a. Tiffany’s flagship store. Sadly, I didn’t buy anything. We also cruised through Coach, H&M, Channel, Bloomingdale’s, and Burberry before hitting the road. It was a whirl-wind trip but I had a blast. Hoping to go back soon!
