That Vertical City with Unimaginable Diamonds


My 3rd and final New York post.



The day began with a visit to the Brooklyn Museum where we checked out ancient Egyptian artifacts (my favorite) and I found inspiration for a new way to decorate my condo. I was completely enraptured by the modern colors in the Cupola House from 1725. 





It may be cliche to wait in line for cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery, but I could care less. Have you tried those things?! It's become a tradition for us now.  Before we enjoyed our desserts, we ate at Grey Dog's Coffee on Carmine Street. Yummy, gigantic sandwiches to suit all palates. 





Our final activity was enjoying the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. The most enjoyable dance was "I'm Old Fashioned," based on the film sequence You Were Never Lovelier, starring Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth. It was a beautiful way to wrap up what was definitely one of the most fun trips I've taken. Thank you to Krystle and her main man Tim for being such great hosts!







Hope to see you soon, New York (and Fly).

Magnolia is delicious, and I don't care if it's cliche either! :) Love the tux jacket with the vintage dress.
