We had reservations for our last meal in NYC and we chose to eat at The Little Owl, located in the Greenwich Village inside a very popular and F.R.I.E.N.Dly building. The ferry took a long time and we worried we wouldn’t make it on time, but we did. Now we can proudly say that we’ve conquered the subway system!
Sunday was our last full day in the city and we wanted to take advantage of everything we could do that we hadn’t done yet. Sunday is also known for Sunday brunches so we took a friend’s suggestion and we gave Beauty & Essex a shot. Normally, we work on Sundays so brunches are a rarity for us. We were really looking forward to this because the menu that we looked at online seemed very well rounded and playful.
…comes great responsibility? We were so blessed to be able to attend a Broadway show on a Saturday afternoon. Not just any Broadway show, but Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark! Now, Kenny is not a fan of musicals, but we both compromised in watching a superhero musical, since he’s into the superheroes and all.
As a new creation, we are an improvement from who we were yesterday. As we had the honor to visit the 9/11 memorial site, we remembered the past with the hope of something new and better. We admire how tasteful and honoring the new tower is coming out to be; in fact, the Freedom Tower stands behind the two reflecting pools, each pool represents the exact location where the twin towers stood. All the names of the 3000 people that passed away in 1993 and 2001 are imprinted on the edges of each pool. Although we didn’t know anyone who died, tears were no strangers and a sea of emotions crashed into us. After today, we’ve realized how angry we can still get just thinking about what happened that day.
Faith, food…and friends! The last time I saw her was at my wedding, and the last time before that…well, lets just say that we’ve had a long distance friendship since 2005, when she left Barry University. When we decided to visit the city, she was the one person I wanted to see.
This was probably our favorite five star restaurant we both have ever been to…so far. The romantic low light dining room, with our very accommodating server Tom and the rest of the crew, we were highly impressed by everything! When we walked in, we felt so out of element by the decor and even the menu; but as the night went on, our experience improved by every bite we took.
We have been looking forward to this trip for about a month now, and to be finally here blows our minds away! The funny thing is: we almost didn’t make it!
Kenny worked a full 7 day week, so between being tired and the anticipation of coming here didn’t help him sleep last night. We set our alarms at 5:30am, but we snoozed another 15 minutes. Our flight was at 7:15am; we got to the airport at 6:50am. The gentleman at the Delta kiosk told us our luggage might not make it on this trip and told us to run to the gate because they were done boarding. So we ran like gazelles and apparently, so did our luggage. I was so relieved and so thankful by the airline for being so PATIENT , but who knew they would be teaching us a lesson today.
