New York

Billy and I had the opportunity to go to New York in April because of a work conference Billy had. We were there for about 5 days and had a great time. I know people have been waiting for pictures from New York (thanks for being patient Mark...you are the best!) so here they are! :)

I have always wanted to go to the restaurant Serendipity because I enjoy that chick flick. After some coaching from my friend Heather, we made it there. They have the best hot fudge sundae's. If you are ever in NYC be sure that you make a trip there. I wish we could have gone a second time while we were there, but we went on the second to last day.


Billy and I met up with Anna one of our family friends from Windsor who lives in New York with her husband John. We met up with her on her lunch break and had some excellent Chinese food. Billy loved it because it was the cheapest meal we had there!

I just loved this picture because of all the flowers behind me. They were beautiful.


Billy and I saw the Phantom of the Opera. Billy is not a huge fan of musicals, but he consented to seeing the Phantom. We had a good time and it was pouring when we got out of the show...we needed a boat to make our way down the street.

My friend Sarah told us about the Trailer Park Lounge. It is a restaurant that was decorated like a trailer. We decided to take the subway to have dinner there and it was a hit. It was the funniest restaurant ever!

Billy and I at the Yankee's game. We were at the first game in their new stadium that they won!

I decided that I wanted to ride the carousel in Central Park, so I rode it with my friend Sarah, while Billy was the photographer


Sarah, Billy and me at the park after we ate the best cup cakes ever!


Sarah took us to the best hamburger place. It was a small restaurant that was tucked away in a hotel. If you weren't staying at the hotel or if you weren't a local, you would have no idea where it was. The rule in the restaurant is that if you don't know what you want to order when you get to the front of the line, they kick you to the end.

Here I am with my other friend Sarah. We had dinner with her at the stardust diner. The servers danced and sang while you ate...it was like a dinner and show all in one. We had a great time and it was great to see Sarah. We hadn't seen each other for 5 years!

We had a great time in NYC...more has happened since then, but hopefully I'll make another posting later this week...stay tuned! :)

Looks like a wonderful time! It is awesome you were able to see so many friends in so little time. I'm glad you went to at least one show while you were there, 'cause how could you go to NY and not see a show! Phantom is a good choice! Good job, Billy, for consenting. :)

Your trip looks so dreamy. I've always wanted to go to New York. Someday. You and Billy are the cutest. Come visit Utah again this summer.

I love the pics! The tulips were beautiful. That is so great you have been able to go to New York two times for such a good price. :)

Looks like you had a great time! Chris and I were just talking about how fun it would be to plan a trip to New York with you guys, so next time you plan to go, let us know and maybe we can do a trip together. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Fun pictures! You ate at some super cool places - you're going to have to tell me where that trailer park place is! And I'm so glad you got to go to Serendipity. I am obsessed with thier frozen hot chocolate. LOVE IT! Next time you come we should have dessert at Cafe Lalo, where Meg Ryan waited to meet for Tom Hanks in You've got Mail. Delish!
Thanks for taking time to see me when you were here!
