NYC Trip #7

My b-fri lives in NYC so I usually try to go up there once or twice a year to see her.  But this trip was different - this trip was with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law!  That was definitely a different dynamic but a fun one no doubt.  We had a great time walking around, eating, seeing musicals, and hanging out with Mere and my brother-in-law, Blakesta.

We got in on Friday night, where we met Mere at Eataly for a drink, and then on to Cafeteria for dinner - where I got the Chicken and Waffles, the size of my head.

The Flatiron Building at dusk.

Blakesta and Mere.  Young love?

The next day, we went on a Food Tour!  Which, if you know me at all, is generally something I do every trip to NYC.  Because I'm a Food Pornographer and am not apologizing for it.  It was the Nolita Tour with Foods of NY and it was awesome.

Drop love, not bombs!

Some of the best pizza we've ever had at Emporio.

Sweet corn tacos from Tacombi.

We then walked around all over NYC, got ready for the evening, and went to see How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, with Nick Jonas!  AHHHHHHHHHH!  And we had a delicious meal at Joe Allen beforehand.

Nick Jonas!!

On Sunday, Mere and I clowned around in her apartment, and then met the rest of the gang at Peels after their visit to the 9/11 Memorial.  We had some strong Texas 75s and the Build-a-Biscuit!  DELISH!!  Then there was more walking around, more pizza, and Godspell!  The play was incredible, and Hunter Parrish from Weeds made a little cameo appearance.  And now Beth and I are obsessed with him.  Sorry not sorry.

Friends!  On the stoop of her fancy new apartment.

Godspell.

The last day (Monday) rained cats and dogs, but Susan, Beth, and I spent time shopping near Herald Square and we scored a new pair of shoes each.  Thanks Suse!  We then ventured over to SMAC, a restaurant that only sells mac and cheese.  Right up my alley.

Cheesy happy deliciousness.

A great time was had by all - thanks to Susan for a really wonderful trip!
