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!
Love your boots & jacket :) I never have luck at Payless but so many people find awesome steals there…totally jealous!
You should at least try to see what the airline says about the damage, that really stinks. :(
I usually don’t have luck there either, but once and a while I find something in my size! We’re filing a damage report with the airline so here’s hoping…
:) I love NY so much! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
you had a perfect time for nyc its never this nice here this time of year i lovee it! and i no all the vegan dessert places make up for all the walking i always say:-) esp if your gointa babycakes and its sucha tripp!
You must stop in at Soft Serve Fruit–soooo good! The Perfect Slice in the village is also my fave.
Have fun!
As a wide-footed gal, I never have luck finding cute shoes at Payless. I LURVE those boots! :)
This weekend’s weather was glorious…glad you were able to get out and enjoy NYC!
I’m going in January and I’m psyched – especially for running Central Park! Keep the trip reviews coming, I can’t wait to hear more about the best things to go see!
OMG girl….I would dieee to have been in the city this past week/end! It was beautiful in Jersey, and as I can see, equally gorgeous weather in new york. Ugh. Love the city.
Amazing! I am super jealous, I really really love NYC! I have to go to stupid LA this year and thus cannot make it out to NYC. Its just got a great vibe. I hope you and Eric are loving it! and Im sorry about your laptop, stupid airline. just to let you know i was able to get compensation from an airline from a similar thing just stick to your guns and dont take no for an answer :D
Sabs
Honestly…just once…can you have Eric take a really bad photo of you when you just get out of bed….or something? You look gorgeous in every photo and it’s not fair! ha ha ha ha!
That’s so funny, I was looking at those boots online last night, LOVE them!!
Do you guys have the urban spoon app downloaded on your phone? Best app for travelling, as it helps find awesome restaurants that you wouldn’t normally find!
Enjoy the rest of your trip!!
Great pics! I love your jacket :)
LOVE your NYC outfit! You fit right in with the stylish NY residents :) I hope your share where you got those vegan doughnuts in Part II of your NYC posts. My husband and I are heading there in a couple of months and I would love to try a vegan doughnut!
I love NY so much…there is nothing like the feel of that City!
New York has so many places to eat! Soy and Sake has great sushi, and Lula’s Apothecary is the BEST option for vegan ice cream.
You are so lucky that you had nice weather! I met Rege many years ago when I worked in BH! Love him! and Kelly is the best!
Oooh looks like fun Ange! And by the way, I love your haircut!! Sorry to hear about the laptop being damaged. Hopefully you can get some sort of compensation for it, especially since you didn’t know ahead of time that you’d have to check your carry-ons. I hope there’s a vegan donut re-creation coming up on your blog soon! :)
ohhhhhhh how much fun!! i was just telling my family how much fun it would to be in nyc for Thanksgiving! your outfit is adorable and i can’t wait to hear about your eats!!!
Welcome to my home!! You definitely lucked out with the weather; it’s been GORGEOUS. Enjoy! Do. Not. Miss. Candle 79.
Just got back from NYC myself. The weather was amazing and I am getting ready to post my pictures today. We got to do some exciting things (High Line Tour) but I didn’t make it to BabyCakes : (
Angela, if you get a chance you should try the restaurant Candle 79! I just read through their cookbook and it looks amazing!! Haha, I see someone else already suggested it, whoops!
Your boots and jacket are adorable! I need to get a cute (p)leather jacket for the fall weather. Glad the weather has held up for you, I can’t believe that it’s the end of November!
Great boots!!!
I am obsessed with NY :-) So happy you were there … makes me giddy just thinking about that place!!
Were you there during our Thanksgiving? It must have been insane in NYC especially with Black Friday!
nope we arrived on Sat :)
I’m definitely checking out Payless…your trip looks amazing! I’ve always wanted to go to NYC in the fall. How long are you there for? Have a great time!
love the boots! resisting cyber monday shopping is over in 5,4,3,2,1 …
NYC public transportation is great! (except the pee smell and the big rats and the dirt on the subway) :) I used to walk everywhere! Never went to a gym cos it was good enough of a workout. I miss NYC so much ever since I moved back to Sri Lanka in January. Your pictures give me happy chills lol :)
have so much fun!!! i absolutely love new york city. i always say i could never live there (too crowded, crazy + busy), but exploring for a weekend? there’s nothing better.
Loved your boots so much I had to order myself a pair – now lets hope they come before my excursion to NYC next week!
I miss NYC so much! And you’re in luck, as there are plenty of vegan restaurants (and bakeries ;) ) there. I wish I was you right now!
Lucky!!! I can’t believe I still have yet to go. I do have a list of restaurants I want to try there though! :)
Have fun!
Ooooh, NYC! We’re planning a NY trip for next year and I never thought to use Hotwire. We’ve always used Expedia, so it’ll be nice to have something to compare it to. I’m totally looking forward to eating some authentic NYC pizza/bagels, so you’ll have to let us know if you find a hot vegan/vegetarian place for both!
Too bad about Eric’s laptop. Hopefully something good will come out of filing a complaint. If their customer service is worth anything, they would want to keep their fliers happy.
You’re here at the PERFECT time! The weather couldn’t be better!
seconded. It’s so unseasonably gorgeous outside!
NYC is awesome! Did a similar trip last January. I ate at a ton of delicious Vegan restaurants. Can’t wait to read your food adventures!! :) have the best time!
You got so lucky with the beautiful weather! Enjoy!
Love your photos!! I’m going to NYC the weekend after next and can only HOPE for the same weather!!
Thanks so much for posting that you got those boots at Payless- I am in great need of boots that look just like that, and wouldn’t have even thought to check out Payless! I’m on it!
Your haircut looks amazing! Suits you so well. And those are some damn cute boots. Way to go Payless!
Have fun in NYC :)
The pics look incredible! I’ve yet to visit the Big Apple, but it’s on my must-do list! Hope that regardless of the rocky start, the trip was fantastic!
Oh my gosh….I am so jealous that you got to see the Regis plaque! I want to go to Live with Kelly sooo bad!
I hope you have an awesome time…NYC is second-to-none. Cute outfit btw!
NYC is always so fun. Good to know that you are wearing pleather. I wasn’t sure if your veganism extended to clothing or not.
Did you like the Babycakes donut? I recently had one and it wasn’t that great. I was so disappointed. The cupcakes are also only good if you have them on the first day. But I want to get their cookbook so I can make my own.
Yea, I loved their chocolate crunch doughnut! Very cake like but good.
I love those boots! I can’t believe they are from payless!
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!
