We have two days left in NYC and the thought makes us sad. We love the diversity of the city, the food, the people, and if it was spring all year round - we'd totally move here, seriously. The weather has been almost perfect. So here's a very brief photo recap of things we've seen and done and the people we've met.
p.s. For some reason I cannot insert any links, so they will be coming later.... This is also an image heavy post, so click the link down the bottom for the extended version!!
We met the locals in Queens.
We ate famous pizza.
I bought necessities (and this is not everything)
We ate yum cha and lychee ice cream in Chinatown.
We have the best and cutest hosts ever.
I visited Mindy and her cute little martian. Read about my trip across the Hudson here.
We saw famous people. Dennis Leary is the guy sitting on the bench in the green shirt - I saw a photo of this exact scene in this week's US - ha!!
We hung out in Central Park.
We saw dinosaurs.
We ate greasy hamburgers in a secret burger joint. Psst - it's at the Le Parker Meridien on W 57th street - it's hidden behind a curtain!!
We went up high. Very awesome, but expensive - $14/person for your Sleepless in Seattle experience!!
I went yarn shopping at Downtown yarns with some very cute NYC knitters. You can read Kay's excellent write-up of our day here!! I can't wait to see Kay's book! Seriously knitters are just the bestest people ever!
I got my hand signed (coz I forgot my book) by a rocking knitwear designer.
Hung out and had dinner with some of NYC's best knitbloggers (everyone not included in this photo) You can read Joy's wrap-up of our fabulous night out here! There's photos too! You can also check out Stephanie's photos!
Nice pics! What yarn stores did you visit?

it looks bloody great Kat. i can't wait to visit NYC and do lots of cool stuff.
i haven't killed the plants yet but there are noticeably less cockies! been overcast and raining for days, wet season has well and truly set in. the park is beautiful and the little black waterbird is tending to her chicks like a star. they are very well fed and getting lots of attention from Mum and adoring crowds alike.

If it helps any, the weather yesterday in the Sunny South Bay of SF was 83 degrees F.
It's nice. Weather in "the city" though, can be extremely different.
