The My Day In Pictures articles are to keep friends and family updated on what is going on with my life. It was instituted at the request and for the benefit of one of my favorite people in the world, one of my aunts who is a retired telephone operator and lives a few hours away from me.
We finally made it up to the Ralph Lauren flagship stores on Madison Avenue, and upon entering the men’s store, I was instantly thrilled. The millwork is flawless. The pictures don’t do it justice. The merchandisers and designers at Ralph Lauren should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done with this space. Later, after quite…
We passed the Creed boutique on Madison Avenue, which is the only official company store in North America. It was great experience, especially since I own 17 or 18 bottles (at least) of the company’s products due to our Creed addiction and passion. I loved the store. I think I’m going to end up ordering…
We serendipitously passed the Bond No. 9 perfume house boutique store on Madison Avenue on our way up to the Ralph Lauren mansion to look at wallcoverings for my mom’s home renovation project. Bond No. 9 is one of the other fragrances houses we like to collect besides Creed, although our wardrobes just now began…
We headed to Carmine’s Italian restaurant in New York City’s theater district after seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway. Both Aaron and I have eaten there a few times but my mom wanted to try it after several of her friends back in Kansas City recommended it. We ordered dessert to go, grabbed a cab back…
A Broadway show and dinner was how we elected to spend our evening; more specifically, seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway and then heading up to Carmine’s Italian restaurant, near Times Square.

We just left St. Patrick’s Cathedral and are going to work our way down to Broadway to see Mary Poppins tonight, after which we have reservations at Carmine’s, an Italian restaurant that serves family-style dishes. We ended up waiting in a McDonald’s next to the theatre for about 30 to 45 minutes until the house…
We finally made it into St. Patrick’s Cathedral across the street from the hotel. It was amazing.
We made it to the Natural History Museum in New York City and attended several of the high profile limited time exhibits following our breakfast at Cafe Lalo. In all the years I lived around the area, I never made it to this museum (the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Lincoln Center got a disproportionate…
You know that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie You’ve Got Mail? It is one of my mom’s favorites. (Aaron and I love it, too.) In the movie, Ryan’s character, Kathleen Kelly, is supposed to meet her soul mate, with whom she has only conversed online, at a little place called Cafe Lalo on the…
Time to grab some club soda and other beverages from a local grocer (the in-room dining bar charges $8 per can, I believe. That will drive me nuts.) Then, of course, we came across another cupcake place and so my mom wanted to see it. We left with our basic supplies and on the way…
