A Birthday in NYC!

Jimmy surprised me this year with a trip to NYC. We woke up Saturday at 4am and drove up to NYC with no plans other than just relax and hang out. We had so much fun.

Jimmy found a festival they have in Little Italy, Feast of San Gennaro, and it was huge. It attracks 1 million people and goes on for blocks and blocks and blocks. There were all sorts of booths with homeade pasta, italian desserts, carnival games and junk for sell.


I tried deep fried oreos. I'm not sure who thought of taking one of the unhealthiest cookies out there and making it worse, but it sure was popular.

The canoli's were my favorite. There were all sorts of crazy flavors; vanilla, peanut butter, chocolate, strawberry, brithday cake. Of course I tried as many as possible.

Since we hadn't eaten enough already (haha) we stopped by Max Brenners. It is probably my favorite place to get chocolate in the city. Its a restaurant, but they are famous for their chocolate.




Of course we had to do some shopping too. It was my weekend but Jimmy couldn't go to NYC without some shopping. It was cute though...he loved shopping for his new niece.

I'm sure Jimmy was counting down until Oprah's Season Premiere before he even saw the real countdown in TimeSquare.

All Jimmy and I did Sunday was walk around Central Park. I love exploring that park. There is always something new to find. And so many great picture spots.







Naturally, we had to stop by Serendipity 3, for some Frozen Hot Chocolate.
