Speedwalk [n.; speed-wawk]: what Riley and Lauren did around NYC that caused me to sprint.

I know, I'm an awful blogger.... I have been meaning to post about NYC and I guess I have been putting it off because I know it's going to be a long post.  I had an absolute blast with two of my very best friends and I couldn't have asked for greater hospitality from one Ms. Riley Tant...Associate Producer of Health.com and otherwise super mogul of all things Web and Design. We had a phenomenal time.  Thank you thank you thank you thank you Riley!


My travel buddy, the beautiful and talented Ms. Lauren Beno, was nothing short of a perfect travel companion!  I'm pretty sure that all three of us laughed for 3 days straight.  We really did have the most wonderful time...all thanks to a fantastic tour guide and wonderful travel buddy!  We are already planning our next trip.  So, instead of writing out a whole lot, I'm just going to post some pics...

Right after we arrived

First Day PHENOMENAL breakfast! Riley lives on the Upper West Side...Jealous?

Heading to find some amazing deals in Chinatown

Displaying our finds

Right before a very mean waitress was rude to us

"Oh, she's beautiful!"

FAO Schwartz!!

No worries...we were prepared for the rain!

Hitting the streets of NYC!

Yes, we karaoked. No we can't sing.

Heading into the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Times Square sans the rain

We managed to eat every 5 seconds on this trip

Loving the coffee!

I love your orange boots!

Times Square in the rain

Our 3rd dessert before dinner time...and this Serendipity sundae went quickly

At Patsy's! Sitting inches away from Jill Zarin.  Best Italian food in NYC!

Procrastinating and not wanting to leave Riley!

Thank you Riley for an amazing time!  I miss you so much!

Thanks for being my travel buddy!
