Some of the highlights:
- Quiet, peaceful hotel and room service
- St. Patrick's Cathedral
- Brice Marden exhibit at MoMA
- Lunch at the Bar Room (the most amazing soup I've ever had -- wild mushroom with chorizo ravioli)
- Exploring FAO Schwarz and Dean & Deluca
- Dinner at Blue Hill (they ran out of the tasting menu just before we got there -- a mild disappointment)
- Spanish painting exhibit at the Guggenheim
- Shopping in Chinatown (Steve bought a "Rolex")
- Being part of the masses at Times Square
- Laughing at some of the street vendor signs (This season there are "cashmere" scarves for sell on just about every corner. Most were $10 or $8. One sign said, "$5. It's war!"
- Counting Bugaboo stroller sightings
The weather was cool but not too cold -- perfect for walking, which, of course, we did a lot of. Some stores were decorated for Christmas, and the Rockefeller Center tree was being installed.
Mostly we just enjoyed time together, away from computers, pagers, everyday activities.
And then we came home, eager to see our little ones, who had a great time at Grandma & Papa's house.
(I'll post photos soon.)

Even though we were just there, reading this post makes me want to return! I think Ken and I will retire to Manhattan someday. How wonderful to walk out your front door into such an exciting, amazing, vibrant world.
Glad you had a wonderful trip!
