And broke...
Here's the photographic version of events:
Day 1: Brunch at Peels- It's beyond adorable. Exposed brick, adorable bakery, wonderful food, "Build a Biscuit" (why on earth not I say?) and that gorgeous and enormous urn of baby's breath.
That evening, we had the privilege of visiting the 9/11 Memorial. It is really beautiful and very tastefully done. I can wait to see the grandeur of it all when the buildings are finished and the museum is open. If you'd like to view more of the Memorial photos click here.
After the Memorial we walked through this fabulous park and had dinner at Barrio Chino which was to die for and some of the best *Mexican food I've ever had in NYC. (*It's certainly not tex-mex but they did have guacamole and fresh squeezed margaritas. My steak fajita tacos were delicious!)

We had our very late lunch/early dinner at Shake Shack and then got ready for the Yankee Game.
We had a ton of fun through the first 2 innings of the Yankee game...unfortunately, it decided to rain....a lot!
From there, we headed to Brooklyn, did some shopping and had lunch at the Brooklyn Flea.
On our way home, we made our way through Mario Batali's Eataly. It was so fabulous. Handmade pastas, fresh made mozzarella, wine and cheese tastings, gelato, a restaurant, fresh made breads...I can't even begin to tell you how overstimulating this place is. The photos below are a glimpse at the gorgeous produce and cheeses. YUM!
We met Sarah and her boyfriend Daniel for a glass of vino and then we headed to Lil' Frankies for some beyond delicious pizza.
Day 4: Also known as our last day- Began with brunch at Freeman's with my sister's old friends. She had so much fun catching up with them and I loved meeting them!
After Freeman's we went to the J Crew Bridal shop on Madison Avenue for Kristen to do some quick browsing!
We went to a Matinee of How to Succeed in Business with Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe. It was one of my favorite plays I've seen on Broadway! (which is a bold statement!)
We said our farewell to NYC with dinner at Jane and a promise to be back very soon!
I love you and your quirks, NYC. Thank you for taking me in for a long weekend! And Kate, you were a wonderful and gracious hostess, as always. Thank you! XOXO

Oh my gosh that looks like so much fun!
What an amazing trip! This took me back when the hubs and & I traveled there a few years ago around the same time of year. Looks like you guys had a blast and looked fabulous doing it. :)
That first picture looks like such an amazing place to eat at. It's so cute! It makes me want to go there, but that would be a heck of a drive just for a bite to eat!

This is like THE perfect trip and you KNOW I'm so jealous. So. Stinking. Jealous.
Looks like you had an amazing time! I have never been...super jealous!
Looks like a fab trip! You're so lucky to have some locals to take you around! Every time I've been to NYC I've been just a blatant tourist and probably miss so many of the best things because I don't know what I'm doing!!

what a great trip! I was definitely overwhelmed on my first visit and I'm ready to go back and experience so many more of the amazing things the city has to offer!
Aw, I miss NYC sooo much! Glad you had a wonderful time even though it rained on you.
Thanks for the comment on my blog!

My goodness, you fit a LOT of stuff into 4 days! I must go to NYC with you next time, I've never done any of that stuff. Love the photos, you look fantastic and very happy! What a fun trip.
i love all of your outfits! my favorite is the first outfit in your first couple of photos, the light pink sweater and the yellow necklace, stunner!
Your trip looks amazing. I love that you found so many unique places that make a trip even more special. I love spending time in NY, and will definitely mark some of these locations for my next trip in March.
