an exciting weekend

We had an exciting weekend in the city. Between my mom's visit, the high temps drawing lots of people outside, and the attempted Times Square attack there was a lot of action to take in around the Big Apple.

Saturday my mom arrived and we explored my neighborhood, a local street fair, braved the crowds at Macys and 34th St., wondered up and down 5th Avenue, and finally made a stop at the bank to visit AHOP.


Sunday we found out about the attempted attack in Times Square. We didn't witness any of the hubbub and we were happy we weren't part of the excitement. We started the day off with brunch at Alice's Tea Cup (so cute!) and took a quick walk through Central Park before spending the rest of the day in lower Manhattan- around Canal Street and Bleeker Street. We finished off the evening with Indian food and delicious desserts at Serendipity 3.
We had to try their famous frozen hot chocolate. It was delicious. I definitely recommend it!

Monday my mom met up with an old high school friend during the day. We met up after I was finished working to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. On our way through Times Square we saw Diane Sawyer filming the evening news.


Whew! I'm tired..but I miss my mom. We had a great time.
