Hello to anyone out there who is still checking SewTrashy! Bill, my most loyal fan, this post is for you.

I can’t believe it’s been (almost) three months since I posted last. Does anyone else feel the year flying by? Sheesh! Life has been good, busy and full of fun things. Although, not much time for making and creativity. Hopefully that will change soon.

Most recently, Dustin and I went to New York City for a quick 2.5 day weekend trip along with some of my family. We took the bus, which was super fun and only cost $4.50 roundtrip TOTAL for both of us. I mean, you can’t beat that! We had a blast while we were there. Dustin took all of these photos. Enjoy!

Grimaldi’s Pizza was amazing! Totally worth the wait. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge which certainly worked up our appetite for pizza! I would recommend trying Grimaldi’s (and walking the Bridge!). The space is quite small and a little noisy, but it’s also cozy and fun. You can watch them cranking out the pizzas in the back. Super thin crust, baked in a coal brick oven. YUM!

Amazing cupcakes. Well, at least they look amazing! We tried the Mini Pumplin Whoopie Pies and Coconut Nutella Macaroons which were both pretty spectacular. These baked goodies come from Street Sweets. A blue lunch wagon bakery on wheels! Try it if you see it. Bring cash, unless you want to buy $10 worth of goodies on your debit card.

Here’s my lovely Mom and super cool brother. We went through craziness trying to get tickets to see West Side Story. Finally, we lucked out and paid $35 for balcony seats and ended up with center orchestra seats! Amazing. Great show. Super fun. Made me want to dance!

The only photo of Dustin the entire trip.

Wrong stop. Lots of extra walking.
Definitely earned all the yummy food we ate during the trip.

Do you have a favorite New York City restaurant or activity? I’m going back in a couple weeks, and would love your input!

Hello there. I had the pleasure of spending the latter part of last week and the weekend in NYC with some great girlfriends of mine. We had such a wonderful time, and came back at least 10lbs. heavier! We stayed in Brooklyn, and did so many fun things while we were there. We saw Phantom of the Opera, discovered this great little Thai place and made lots of memories! It was a great Girls Only Fall Trip. Hopefully, the first of many! Here’s a visual overview of our fabulous time in New York City! Enjoy.
