Erin and Callie convinced me to drive to New York City for the day this summer ... I was game ... I just had no idea the traffic!! Both ways ... we left at 6 am and didn't get home until 2 am ... but the middle part, summer in the City, was worth every drive minute!! Off we went!
This restaurant is across the street from Pastis ... we have never eaten here, but I think we'll try it next time. I think it is named "5 Ninth". Look at the cute courtyard in the back!
As we strolled down Central Park East we marveled over the beautiful buildings and imagined ourselves living there!
The Plaza Hotel holds a special place in our hearts ... we stayed there when the girls were little and they have such fond memories!
This is where Callie fell in love with Chandeliters (her word) when she was 2 ... she has had one hanging in her bedroom every since. It is not quite this grand!
Erin was (and still is) infatuated with Eloise ... the thought of living in The Plaza ... and having the run of the place ... we had to stop in and say hello.
Then off to Bergdorf's for some fun, dreaming and lunch! First stop ... shoe department ... I could barely drag Callie away!
View from the BG Restaurant on the seventh floor ... magnificent! We had the best dinner ... and pretended we do this every day :)
I didn't snap my own photo of the restaurant, designed by one of my favorites ... Kelly Wearstler, but downloaded this one from the Bergdorf Goodman site for you to see ... It is luscious!
More views from BG ....
We had to take this photo for my mom ... we call her BG ... she made it up ... it stands for Beautiful Grandmother. We think she is pretty beautiful! Inside and Out!!
What a wonderful day ... not certain they'll be able to convince me to do a day trip again ... but I would stay over night any time!!
xo,
Kim
