After over 3,500 miles, countless hours in the car, enough 1 night stays across the country to make me feel like I was on tour, and counting daylight savings 4 hours lost – we’ve made it back to New York. And it feels good. Of course my welcome back weekend was largely helped by the winning of an extravagant grand prize package through Glam Media (a million thanks!!!). Friday began by overlooking Central Park at the famed John Barrett salon and the day ended with one of the best meals I’ve ever had at One if by Land, Two if by Sea. The restaurant is in an old carriage house in the West Village and between exposed brick, stained glass, and intimate tables for 2 is probably one of the most romantic spots I’ve seen in the city. The rest of our time was spent spending my shopping spree winnings (I’ll be sharing my purchases over the next couple of weeks), and catching up with friends. And did I mention it was 50 degrees and sunny on Saturday? Tomorrow is my first day at the new job and since we’re still in the process of nailing down an apartment things are hectic. But looking back on the weekend I just had and towards what’s ahead – I’d say I’m feeling pretty lucky.
