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…
DetailsWe 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…
DetailsWe 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…
DetailsA 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.

DetailsWe 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 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…
DetailsYou 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…
DetailsTime 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…
DetailsWe have arrived in New York, settled into the hotel, and are trying to get some store browsing in before business closes today since it is late on a Sunday afternoon. We checked into The Palace Hotel. I know we said we were going to be staying at the Waldorf Towers but my mom got…
