NEW YORK

My favorite City! Growing up in a small town in the south not many of my family members (the men) have been able to understand why I love New York so much! Honestly though, what's not to love? New York has everything (and yes, I do understand the crowds of people probably bother some).

My mom, sister-in-law, and I started making this trip once a year about 13 years ago, over the years we have had friends come along and our daughters also; this year my oldest daughter and my niece joined us, both of them just graduated high school last month and are getting ready for their big move to college!

A beautiful restaurant at
129 Mulberry Street & if
any of you know your mafia history
you know what happened here on
April 7, 1972 I learned from my son!

5th Avenue

One of the things I find so fascinating about New York City is the fact that just walking from one area to the next is like entering an entirely new city. I can never decide which area is my favorite! They all have their own uniqueness about them and I find something to love in each one! This year, I really seemed to enjoy Soho and Little Italy the most. The shops in Soho and the buildings will make you want to stay forever and I have to say Little Italy was the friendliest place I have been! I got caught in a really bad rain storm in Little Italy the kind that blows your umbrella inside out and drenches you! Every restaurant I passed I was asked to come inside by the manager who was standing under the canopy and offered a drink... ON THE HOUSE!
