One of my dearest high school friends is getting married this fall in Pennsylvania, and Mr. King and I decided to swing on through NYC on our way back to the midwest... because why not! So he and I have been making to-do lists of what all to CRAM into our 48 hours of adventure. We are both excellent at packing a lot of fun into a little timeframe, so if our list seems a bit far-fetched, than it is perfect!
My Top 10 Stops to Hit in 48 Hours:
1. Central Park: Including a Carriage Ride, a stop at the Plaza and FAO Schwarz, to play the huge piano from one of the best movies of my childhood, BIG.
2. Hillsong NYC- We can't wait to visit a service and see for ourselves how cool a church in the heart of Manhattan can be.
3. TIMES SQUARE- you can't not go to Times Square! We have both been before, when we were much younger. Can't wait to check it out together.
4. Dylan's Candy Bar! This. Is. My. Dream. Company. Too bad Dylan Lauren beat me to the punch... It also doesn't hurt that her Dad is Ralph Lauren, so all in all the girl has a few things going for her.
And this? A candy wedding? My mom is thanking her lucky stars I didn't know this existed when I got hitched.
5. Ground Zero / World Trade Center Memorial. And yes, of course I will cry! I have heard that the memorial is an awesome tribute to the people who died and the amazing heroes who saved a lot of lives.
6. New York Pizza
7. Dessert at Serendipity! Only one of the best movies ever, and I LOVE the scenes where they get Frozen Hot Chocolate. Yum and Yes.
^ ^ Is that real life?
8. A hop, skip and a jump down 5th Avenue- In case the Mister wants to buy me a cute Tiffany trinket, like a yellow cabbie necklace! Now, if only Holly GoLightly could be there!
9. The Theater, perhaps? When we were in Londy, we saw Les Mis and it is obviously life-changing. we may have to take a trip to "Give Our Regards to Broadway"......
10. And finally, Crumbs & Magnolia, two renowned cupcake bakeries.
Because our vacations are spotted with treats and dishes- Why not! We're going to do a lot of walking, too!
