So yesterday was our annual trip to New York City for shopping, lunch and a visit with family.ROCKEFELLER CENTER was a mob scene, but it was worth the shoves to be where the action was.
The SAKS FIFTH AVENUE, crystal infused windows were amazing, and what would a trip to the City at Holiday time be without a stop in SAINT PATRICK'S Cathedral. The warmth, beauty and tranquility of just being inside was worth the trip.
We also had to hit THE STRAND BOOKSTORE, and it's 18 Miles of Books, at 12th and Broadway. I was lucky enough to come home with (10) ARCS at just $1.49 each (they use to be 99 cents).

ReplyDeleteAhhh. There is nothing quite like NYC during the holdidays.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if a trip to The Strand is included.
I went to the tree a little bit later when it was getting dark it. It was so crazy. There were just as many people waking in the streets as the sidewalks.
ReplyDeleteI always go to that diner right across from strand books. I forget what it is called. They have great food.
