NYC recaps and highlights before I forget everything:
- FASHION WEEK craziness – amazing clothes, taking everything in, seeing old friends, meeting new people, press passes, 6 inch heels (and the blisters to go along with them), free drinks, celebrity sightings, total exhaustion but not minding.
- Getting pushed in line for Vivenne Tam by one of the Real NYC Housewives, then stifling laughter as long as possible (read: .05 seconds).
- My sandal breaking in the middle of Union Square & having the bf piggyback me to sit on some steps while he went and bought me a cheap pair of reefs. Aw.
- Developing an extreme hatred of everything Times Square. ‘Cept maybe the bright lights.
- Cupcakes at Sugar Sweet Sunshine (finally!!). Well worth the wait.
- Fries and a trio of dipping sauces at Pomme Frittes. (Sweet chili – so good!)
- James Bond/spy-style trick wall in a phone booth entry to a secret bar (PDT). Watermelon cocktails & secret business cards.
- Spending $30 on candy at Dylan’s (so typical but it had to be done).
- Rooftop parties in Williamsburg, rooftop bars in the West Village. Rooftops in general.
- Seeing “The September Issue” (verdict: underwhelming but fun nonetheless).
- Free wi-fi in airport terminals. Gotta love JetBlue.
- Making it back to Boston but missing NYC like crazy.
It was such a crazy 4 days (felt like 4 weeks and 4 minutes all at the same time) but in the best possible way. I can’t wait to go back. Maybe even permanently?

So I just went to nyc (for the first time) and pretty much did all the same things
aside from the fashion week amazingness of course…sugar sweet was amazing (pistachio cupcakes yum), pommes frittes was delish (until some douche ran in and stole the tip money 
), totally spent a ton of money at Dylans, FINALLY saw the September Issue (of course not playing in ohio), came home broken and cannot wait to go back! But anyway, I just thought it was funny reading your post after I had gone and seeing so much in common.
Love CF by the way and all the fabulous interns, such a great idea on your part.
-o and i also did not like Times Square, it felt like a giant city fair with the smell to match
