After a few days of navigating around the city the I <3 NYC SO MUCH trance began to pacify.  Which was vital, for both my ankle and emotions.  You can’t imagine how many unexpected burst of tears came pouring down my face when I first reunited with my world.  My sister.  My friends.  My city.

I was lucky enough to be staying in Greenwich Village a mere 2 blocks from Washington Square Park where I escaped to daily for jazz picnics full of NYCs finest takeout.  Could anything be more romantic…?

For my last weekend in the big apple I escaped the city and headed upstate to visit my favorite NY family.  3 days of Italian cuisine, fancy wines & adventure.
