HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween from 1st grade!!

so long, new york!

What a terrific little weekend trip I had to New York City. I absolutely LOVE visiting NY and discovering new restaurants, meeting up with friends, and visiting the many many shops! This weekend I got to do all of that and more and in really just a matter of 24 hours. I packed it all in and am sitting on the megabus home feeling very satisfied.

There’s only one thing I would have changed: Bailey was not there. Boo. I missed you, Bails! Tons!

Here is a sneak peak at what I did this weekend…

had a delicious brunch @ Miriam

fell in love with Fishs Eddy

and enjoyed a lovely italian market experience at Eataly in Union Square

FAVOLOSO!

More on each of these experiences this week!

fun weekend!!

What a fun time I had last weekend with some friends from HWS! Mo came into town from Rochester, and a bunch of ’07 ladies from William Smith were in the Bean for Octoberfest!

Mo is one of my very best friends from growing up. We met when I was 12 (Mo was 10) at a pool party and we’ve been having good times together ever since. We spent our younger years dancing together, had some funny times and lots of laughs through high school, and when Mo came to visit me my sophmore year in college she decided with ME was where she wanted to be. We spent 2 awesome years together at school and 15 years from the start of our friendship we are still going strong. Bosom buddies for life, right Mosie?

Mo has a great group of friends from Hobart and I have been lucky to have gotten to know them so well over the past few years. I always have a fun time when I hang out with this group and this weekend was no exception. Saturday was spent at Harpoon Brewery’s Octoberfest followed by a delicious dinner and out for drinks at Cafe 47. YUM. Thanks for including me in the fun girls… I had a blast!

Eliza was there!! My fellow blogging buddy!!

Katharine came out to meet us!

Love ya, MO! Come back again soon!!!!
