After I took the ferry over the city (disappointing - heavy fog so no views of the NY skyline) and checked into the hotel, I met my mom and Akemi for lunch. After that, it's a blur of 4 days of eating and shopping. And walking, but mostly walking to our next destination to either shop or eat! I've been to NYC often enough to know my way around, but not often enough to be able to just hang out - I still want to see and do everything everytime I'm there. Add my mom & Akemi's "places" and we had packed itineraries! Suffice to say it was great fun, decent weather (a little cold, but nothing too problematic). Instead of a play by play or highlights, I think I'll just post the list of all the of places where we ate!
Union Square Cafe for lunch
Il Laboratorio del Gelato (not the actual store, the stand in the Union Square Whole Foods)
Burger Joint (in the Le Parker Meridien Hotel)
Daniel's Bagels
Macy's Cellar (we watched a baking demonstration and then got a restaurant-sized sample!)
Kee's Chocolates (we bought omiyage, but had to eat some too!)
Pinkberry (Nolita location)
Momofuku Noodle Bar (new location, East Village)
Some other 2nd rate FroYo joint in the East Village (totally sub-par to Pinkberry)
Daniel's bagels (again)
Oms/b (take out for lunch)
Garrett's popcorn (Oprah's favorite)
Roasted Chestnuts from a street vendor
Katsuhama (Japanese-style Katsu restaurant)
Starbuck's (at Woodbury)
Nathan's hotdogs (at Woodbury)
Wu Liang Ye (Sichuan takeout near our hotel)
