And I should go back more often. It really was just lovely to be there experiencing every moment, so I took very few photos. Here’s the view from the hotel room. (That’s not smog; it’s just a blurry tiltshift. heh.)
I pretty much walked everywhere, because I had the time and the weather was alright. Mid-trip, I had to meet some folks at Grand Central Station.
We popped over to the public library.
And then the camera never came out again.
The whole trip was about intensive work work work and then about seeing lots of people people people.
Visited Habu, where some yarn and some Japanese indigo cotton fabrics became mine.
(I named the little blue cashmere one George. I shall pet it and hug it and feed it and keep it safe and warm.)
And Purl Soho, where lots of fabrics and yarn were fondled. Carrying just a small bag, I kept myself in control with stashing.
Ate lots of casual food, mainly from little local diners and trucks. (Meatballs! Tacos! Falafels! Gyros! Fries!) Went to see Blue Man Group (in the poncho seats). Saw a Percy Shelley exhibit at the public library. Got lost quite a bit. And much much more!
It was a great week!
There’s nothing quite like NYC! So jealous (duh, michele, just take the train in on the next LI trip!)
Your company was divine!! The meatballs weren’t bad either! It was so great talking with you in person. You are even more amazing off the screen ;o)
Sounds like a great trip–well, the food trucks and shopping anyway. I know this sounds impossible, but I feel asleep at a Blue Man Group performance. I was super duper jet lagged. And probably hung over?
Felafel!! TACOS!! Gyros!! Tilt-shift! Stashing! Friends! Sounds like a pretty perfect week, C!
Oh, fun. I wanna gooooooooooo! ;)
I long to visit NYC! Especially Purl, where I doubt self-restraint would dare to enter with me!
Oh, I’d so love to go to New York one day. Looks such an exciting place!
I really need to go.
NYC has been calling me for years.
*sigh*
Sounds like a great vacation to me and it made me want to go too. It’s been too long since I last visited NYC!
The green fabric you got at Purl Soho is fantastic. That shade has long been one of my favorites.
Ahhh…your trip sounds wonderful! Looks like George has found a lovely new home.
I love NYC place of my birth. I haven’t been there in too long. I’ve never visited an lys there, wasn’t really into that then, but I would like to do a yarn crawl there one day.
Oh so you DID end up in the poncho area! Ha! Hope you enjoyed. I loved loved loved eating meatballs with you! xxoo
fabulous!
Sounds like a really great time!
love blue man group! Never have had the nerve to sit in the poncho seats though! Glad you had fun and feel better!
Sounds like a wonderful time — glad you got to mix in a lot of fun amongst the work. :)
Sounds like a world of fun!!! I’m hoping to get there one day…
You had me at meatballs…
Jealous.
I love NYC. Love it.
your pictures are breathtaking! the pics of the library… oh my! and i am impressed with your self control! purl soho would do me in… ;) xoxo
Oh, I love NYC so much! I just took my third trip there the end of May. It seems that no matter how many times I go, there are still so many more things I want to see there!
