It's My 2 Month Anniversary!



Today is my 2 month anniversary of living in this great city!  On one hand it feels like the time has flown by but on the other I can't believe I've only been here 2 months.  My weeks go by so fast, and I have seen and done so much that I can't believe its only been 2 months.  So in honor of my anniversary, I thought I would dedicate this post to a few of my new favorite things in New York.  Undoubtedly these will all continue to change but for now here's what I love:

Bryant Park: My new favorite place to go on a nice weather day


I worked right around the corner from Bryant Park for a few days and I loved eating my lunch at one of the cute outside lawn tables.  Around lunch time the park is full of other 9-to-5er's and moms with their cute kids.  And it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful.  

Empire State Building: My new favorite thing to look for at night


Being one of the more famous architectural structures in New York, I was very familiar with the Empire State Building, I've waited in the monstrous lines to visit the top, and know the great view of the city it provides, but before moving to New York I didn't realize that just about every night it lights up in color!  Most often it is to signify an organization, charity, or special event - but no matter what the color happens to be, I love when I catch a glimpse of it peaking through other buildings. 

(secretly really hoping it looks like this on Valentine's Day)
Brunch: My new favorite weekend meal

BRUNCH! - clearly this isn't me at brunch though

Prior to 2 months ago, I really didn't like breakfast or breakfast food or coffee or eating real food so early, but 2 months in and New Yorkers love of weekend brunch has changed me!  It now is by far my favorite weekend meal and probably my favorite meal of the week too.  Bottomless coffee, mimosas, and warm food - really what's not to love?

*my 2 month anniversary was actually yesterday, but I failed to get those posted in time 
oh and in the apartment adventures...our ceiling started leaking tonight - eek!
