It was a whirlwind trip – and we packed as much as we could into it.

It was a good weekend.

The weather was perfect -

The cab rides not so much.

Where do NYC cab drivers go to get their drivers license.  I would really like to know. Because not ONE of them is familiar with the action of slowly pressing down on your brakes -

all they know how to do is SLAM on the breaks –   about every 10 seconds too.   I  had some serious car – sick-ness on the way back to the airport.

And I really wanted to yell at my cab- driver but B wouldn’t let me.

Lucky for him I guess – he almost had a backseat filled with puke.

Obviously seeing the girls and J – was the best part of the weekend -

but the other best part was the food!!!

New Yorker-s are quite fortunate – in that you guys have so many awesome restaurant’s to eat – in.

Do you need any suggestions?

Ask my girls – because they picked out the most amazing places to eat -

I think we may just have to visit New York again before we move -

So many more restaurants I want to try -

A Brooklyn bridge that I want to walk over -

and amazing stores I need to revisit!!!

Enjoy  these images -

Sunday started out with an Irish Breakfast -

and all appropriate beverages included -

mine was coffee.

Love the buildings in NY -

Want to go back here when it’s not so crowded – such a neat idea

We had an amazing meal here at Artisanal - I had the Brick Chicken and of course Chocolate fondue

{Hey Carter’s – you would have loved it here!!!!!!  We must go together }

They even had a cheese shop in the middle of the restaurant :

Walked to McSorley’s Old Ale House - oldest operating Saloon in NY – still the original floors and bar – it was eye candy to sit and look at everything in the bar -

I could kick myself now for not taking pictures inside – but I was trying to avoid looking “touristy”.

We waited almost an hour to eat breakfast here –  Clinton St. Baking Company

and I can honestly say  I had the best biscuit I’ve ever eaten here – and that’s coming from someone who lives down south -

I actually found their cookbook today on Amazon – and I may just have to order it -

Another photographer in action

We did a tiny bit of shopping too -

Fell in love with this store :   ABC Carpet & Home - lot’s of antiques & vintage items  - mixed in with the new & modern – but so far out of my budget -

Loved the entire collection of everything in here:  Fishs Eddy  - but with our moving and all – I just looked and touched!!

We did like the clothes here at Brooklyn Industries - located in the Village –  and a few items may have come home with me.

It was the best way to spend Mother’s day – I couldn’t be happier.

My favorite gift?????

A Jaguar – was adopted for me  - through the World Wildlife Fund -

A black one.

Think I will name her Stinky  Too.
