Don’t get me wrong – I love Toronto, but my love affair with New York City has been ongoing for many years now. Life happens and priorities call, so believe it or not, it’s been about five years since I’ve been on vacation. Feeling inspired I decided to take a Daytrip, flying-out this morning. At the break of dawn my friend Keith was ever so kind to come pick me up and we dropped Billy off at the Boarder’s for a day.
My day was exhilarating, absorbing the hustle and bustle of the City, getting lost and finding my way again. A day away is all it took and I feel so incredibly rejuvenated! The Fashion, the buzzing energy, the lights -New York City brims with an unwavering confidence and extra bit of attention to detail which we all could learn from.
I indulged in Macarons from Bouchon, inhaled a Lobster Roll from The Soup Man, devoured a Rockette Red Velvet Cupcake from Magnolia Bakery, gobbled Truffles from La Maison du Chocolat and although I could’ve enjoyed any of the fine Cuisine in New York City, I chose to reunite with Toronto’s long-lost Friend, The Olive Garden, meeting-up with a Friend Jamie who also happened to be visiting coincidentally! For once I couldn’t even finish the plate! I also found a charming one bedroom apartment to rent overnight right in the thick of it all.
Today was a day I’ll never forget and here are some images from my best day ever. Enjoy.
