NYC in Pictures

We just returned this weekend from our last big trip before baby "sheesh-ter" (as Conley calls her) arrives - two months to go! We had a great time in Belgium and The Netherlands and are finally recovering from jet lag, but before I get to that trip I wanted to post a few highlights from our NYC trip earlier in the month.

It was our coldest visit yet and the one day that was in the high 30s and sunny felt like a nice day! We still managed to pack in a lot of fun stuff and did a lot of walking around, but maybe not quite as much as our usual visits! The last couple trips we had stayed in midtown in order to be closer to Central Park for Conley, but this time we rented an apartment on Airbnb in Greenwich Village and it was nice to be so close to all our favorite restaurants and dessert spots and my favorite areas for walking around - Soho and Nolita. Conley loved the Natural History Museum and the horse ride through Central Park, and I indulged in many of my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Another successful NYC visit and Conley's most active to date!

The window was very popular!

Arrival lunch at The Breslin...no food shots this time,
but it was good as always!

Followed by dessert at City Bakery - chocolate chip
cookies and hot chocolate! Conley, of course, greatly
approved.

The granddaddy of all chocolate chip cookies at Levain Bakery

All bundled up for the walk to the Natural History
Museum

Surprisingly, the dinosaurs were probably his
least favorite -a  little too scary I guess. He loved
all the other exhibits we visited though and
would run from case to case exclaiming happily.

Our first Central Park carriage ride - this was
definitely another highlight of Conley's trip!
He loves the "neighs!"

Drinks (well, for Peter at least) in the balcony at The Met - always my
favorite stop on our trips. I used to visit every weekend when we lived there
and it never got old!

Somehow we never made it to the Brooklyn Flea
Market and Smorgasburg when we lived in NYC,
 but it was great! A mix of vintage and new items - I picked
 up quite a few things and then they had a big
 selection of yummy food vendors as well. A must-visit
for our future trips as well!

Conley sure did like whatever was in that cup -
I forget now what it was, but I think some sort
of lemonade.

...and still drinking

We did manage to fit in one new restaurant - kind of just stumbled upon it
our last day while walking around Nolita - Rubirosa. Great pizza!
