New York

Aaron and I visited New York for a week in May. We took Alice with us because I'm still nursing her, but we left Mari with my parents. This was the first time Aaron and I have ever been on a plane together, and we've known each other for over 5 years! Check out all the pictures on my facebook album.

Here's a summary of our favorite times from the week, and things you ought to do if you visit New York:


Top of the Rock - For a fantastic view of Manhattan.
Central Park - We visited the Alice in Wonderland Statue in honor of Alice.

Gramercy Tavern - A restaurant where the New Yorkers go. We asked our friends Lyle and Ciara, who live there, to take us to a place that would give us a true New York experience. I wish we had a place like this in Sacramento! Their food was excellent! Here's what I had: Appetizer - calamari and carrot salad, Entree - duck confit with lentils and sweet potatoes, Dessert - pumpkin whoopie pie. The portions were perfect. I finished everything on my plate. They have excellent service, too. The waiters silently go about their business and don't bother you.

Walk over Brooklyn Bridge

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - BEST Pizza in New York!
Tiffany & Co. - Yes, Aaron has spoiled me this year. I'm not asking for anything for Christmas!
