New York Trip

Ok, so I haven't posted in a week. Left for New York on Thursday and of course my flights were delayed. Note to self only take non stop flights into NYC. Nicky and I stayed up late enjoying a bottle of wine and catching up with each other. I really miss her and wish I could see her more often. Taylor and Sandra met up with me on Friday and we covered lots of ground. We headed down to the WTC area to hit Century 21 which didn't turn out to well. I got lost after we got off the subway and it took me a bit to find Century 21. I think we ended up walking in circles. Should have bought a map not the subway map. Century 21 is a gigantic store kind of like Marshalls/TJMAXX but with lots more designer stuff. I thought it wouldn't be packed but I was wrong. It was very overwhelming so we left and headed back downtown to meet up with Nicky. Anyway, we had dinner at Milam, my favorite Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant, where the Maitre d'(Baboo)tried to pick me up. He even gave me his cell number. It's pretty funny b/c he's like 4' 10" max. He had some good laughs about it. The next day was more shopping and Brazilian food for dinner where we all had too many capirinhas. Nicky was leaving for France on Sunday so we tied one on. I had a nasty hangover the next day and had to recover walking down 5th Avenue. We ended up resting our dogs at Central Park where Sandra saw Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson biking in the park. On Sunday we had sushi and ended going up to the Rockfeller Center observation tower after dinner. That was lots of fun and than we met up with my friend Doug and his new girlfriend. All in all we didn't do a lot of sight seeing but we did hit all the important stores. H&M, Benetton, Saks(the one on 5th Ave), Loehmanns and lots of others. Picked up some cute maxi dresses that I will be working this summer. On Monday we headed to Chinatown on the subway but somehow I got lost and ended up going downtown both times we got on the subway. We finally got off and jumped into a cab. We had Chinese food for lunch and walked through Chinatown for a bit but we had to head back to the hotel to check out and head to the airport. By the end of the trip our feet were really hurting. I of course didn't pack comfy shoes. Have to remember to do that next time. It was fun and can't wait to do it with Helena and Chris now that I know my way around the subway. Here's a couple of pictures of the trip. Don't I look good for having a hangover (the pic of me and Taylor). Also I'm really looking for some black gladiator sandals. Saw some in NY but not ones I really want. I will have to search the internet for a pair.
