She invited me in turn to come along. I waited 5 whole seconds before I accepted! NYC? Are you kidding me? Any excuse. Since it was my sister’s first time in NYC, we hit some touristy locations. And I must say the view from Top of the Rock at night was fabulous. I highly recommend it! We also strolled through City Park and viewed some of the Dutch Masters at The Met.img_04561We stayed at City Club Hotel and enjoyed hot chocolate chip cookies on our pillow nightly. Bring your own 100 watt bulbs if you plan on applying makeup in the room. And we ate more than once at one of my fav NY restaurants, DB Bistro found in the City Club Hotel. Their “bar food” includes a tomato tart and onion/bacon tart on the finest pastry you will ever have melt in your mouth! Hotels.com found us great rates that the hotel couldn’t offer us! I will definitely use their services again.img_0466A visit to NY wouldn’t be complete without a Broadway show. And once again I was not disappointed. I might even say I got more than I bargained for in the Broadway show, HAIR! Fantastic cast, lots of laughs and even more nudity! Do go see it, do not bring your kiddos.

OOOOh, gorgeous day in London! Sunshine. Staying at a very swanky apt, sorry FLAT, thanks to my dear friends the Gutterman’s. Thanks Scott and Kathy …….and Quintess! Arrived at five am completely “knackered” as the British would say. Little refresher nap and off to explore.

Happy to see my honey after a whole week, we roamed the streets around St. James’s Square. The London Cabbie kindly but clearly corrected me when I told him I was staying at St. James Street. Apparently it is St. James’s Street. Notice the difference……….this chap James obviously had ownership of the place!

Stopped for lunch at Franco’s on Jermyn Street. Lucky pick, as the food was top notch, excellent service and bit of a scene. I always enjoy a scene. The lobster linguine was almost as good as the carpaccio with asparagus salad and shaved pecorino!

Shopping? Of course, but suffice it to say I hit the typical spots, Harrod’s, Harvey Nichols, etc. When I find some really unusual spots I will definitely fill you in.

Dinner plans tonight with an old friend Sophie, my BFF from age 12! Zuma’s is her favorite spot and I have been advised to go there by others so will dish tomorrow.
