NYC Summer Kick off

For the first time this year, it really felt like summer in NYC this Saturday.

We parked in Union Square and started our evening by heading towards the west side.

On our way we stopped at Eataly for dessert.


Nelson was craving street food, so we made another stop at a street fair mid town for a yummy chicken gyro.


We were here to see the "Rainbow City", a beautiful art installation inspired by the Hindu festival of color. It was lovely seeing how kids and adults alike became fascinated by these giant, colorful, geometric shapes.


We were right at the end of High Line Park, an old rail way track that was converted to a park in the past few years. Phase two was completed this year and it was very New York chic. The landscaping was done to preserve the aura of the overgrown rail way sight. It was a nice walk despite the crowd.


We stopped by the pop up piano decorated by Isaac Mizrahi in Herald's Square


We celebrated one of my best friend's birthday with Korean BBQ at Don's Bogam.


Then drinks at Blue Owl in East Village.


Dessert on the way back at Spot, where I had my 29th birthday cake. I love the green tea cupcake!


Loved seeing the Empire State lit up in rainbow colors! New York legalized gay marriage yesterday. NY state rocks!


On Sunday we had a laid back day strolling about Tarrytown. The view from the marina was beautiful. We visited Silver Tips Tea room gain to redeem my groupon for some yummy tea sandwiches. Browsing around galleries and walking by the river is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
