My best friend Lauren and I went to New York City last week. It was her first time. It was magical if not exhausting. Here's a peek.
We love museums and wanted an adventure that would keep us warm and cognitively engaged. The Guggenheim came through on every level. The spiral, continually ascending, Frank Lloyd Wright design kept us interested during the much needed, free audio tour. At the "Chaos and Classicism" exhibit, we learned more about the progression of art between WWI and WWII then we ever thought we would need.
The upper west side. Just pretty cupcakes.
Architectural tourism. Old buildings with character and round corners.
I am smitten.
I once read a blog post about this building that was turned into huge, perfectly round lofts. Then I went to see them.
The jungle popping out from under Manhattan.
One of the sets from "You've Got Mail," Cafe Lalo was the perfect mix of tourism and untouched loveliness. I bought a tee-shirt and an espresso.
I take pictures of place's bathrooms on a regular basis. Actually, this one became the background on my phone for a few days. I want this wall paper.
More scenes from "You've Got Mail."
"This is one of those things I will immortalize forever and never understand why I can't recreate it. I will try to make one and it will never satisfy after this."
-Lauren, referring to a well-timed mango smoothie.
