If you guessed we’re in the Big Apple, you’d be right!
We lucked out with the weather this weekend; it’s been warm and sunny with highs reaching 15-17C!! Who knew? Today is supposed to reach 20C! Peeling off layers is always a nice surprise.
We’ve been getting quite the workout too. No need for the hotel exercise room while staying in NYC. Walking and the subway have been our sources of transportation with the occasional cab when it’s midnight and our legs feel like bricks. I absolutely love to walk, so it’s been a nice break from regular workouts.
When we arrived on Saturday morning, we had a bit of a rocky start to our trip. We flew in on a prop plane on Continental Airlines and when we were boarding the plane they made everyone check “carry-on” suitcases under the plane. We weren’t thinking about our valuables in the carry-on because it caught us off guard, but once on the plane we immediately had a bad feeling about it. When we got to the hotel we discovered that our laptop (which was in Eric’s carry-on) was damaged badly. So now, I’m blogging on half a screen and the rest of the screen is super fuzzy. Doh! Hopefully we can get some sort of compensation from the airline, but I doubt it. So if you see a bunch of weird characters or typos, don’t blame me. ;)
Anyways, we’re staying at The Warwick Hotel. It’s an older hotel, but we got a great deal on it through Hotwire and saved a lot of money.
Then we were off on foot to explore! Eric’s work droid has come in very handy for Google Maps. ;)
Isn’t technology great? He was able to plan all our destinations on a map.
…such as Central Park:
We’ve been enjoying the photography on this trip as usual. :)
By the way, someone asked me where my boots are from. I recently picked them up at PAYLESS SHOES….I don’t usually have good finds there, but this season I did. The boots are made for walking….literally! My brown jacket is from Le Chateau. Both HQ pleather. ;)
Then we explored
Much more happened on Saturday, so a Part II will be coming up.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have vegan doughnuts to eat!
I have those boots in black and I love them! They are great for walking but I’m not sure they will be warm enough in the winter, I’ll have to get some wool socks.
I love your outfit! I’m going to look into that jacket. It’s so cute!
Hope you have a blast in NYC! I haven’t been in over a year and I’m definitely due for a visit.
NYC is seriously a foodie’s paradise!! Its surprising how many healthy options there are, even on the street!!
Have fun!!
Looks like you’re having an awesome time. Sorry about the laptop though, such a bummer! It has been unseasonably warm up here in the Northeast, what a great time to visit. And I certainly need to find some boots at Payless!
New york city is one of my favorite places to visit! These are wonderful pictures!
New York is so fun! I hope to live there soon…
NYC looks so beautiful. Being there this time of year is my favorite; the leaves are gorgeous and the chill in the air…and seeing all the decorations go up. Enjoy!
Score on the Payless find! Might need to check that out. ;)
Thanks for sharing your NYC trip – I’ve always wanted to go, but have not done so yet.
Fun! I wish we could all visit Canada while you guys are in the US, as if that makes any sense, lol. Country switch! ;)
I find a lot of great things at Payless purely because I know they’ll be pleather :)! Btw, did you go to Babycakes? That’s a must if I ever get to NYC!
Have a great time! I once scored an awesome pair of dressy sandals at Payless for $8. Love that.
What a bummer about Eric’s laptop :( Hopefully the airline does take some responsibility. btw, no typos ;)
Your boots & jacket look fabulous! Sounds like a lot of fun- I really love walking, too, and tend to do a lot of it on vacation. And now I want a vegan donut with sprinkles! :D
I live in NYC and I can totally attest to the absolutely AMAZING weather we got this weekend. You really lucked out!!! I hope you’re having a great time exploring still.
Oh Goodness! New York City! Please, please, please, visit Pure Food and Wine, stuff your face & review for us. That is one of my places to eat on my restaurant bucket list! Have fun on your visit!
Mmmm, send a vegan doughtnut my way please!! Looks like you’re having fun in the big apple. Kiss from England.xo http://hannahalehandra.blogspot.com/

I live in New York! I’m so glad that you love it here and are having a good time. All the sights look amazing, as does that vegan donut ;)
Cute jacket! Wish I had one! :-)
The doughnut looks so yummy! Where did you get it?
I hope you went to BabyCakes! Delicious vegan treats :)
