pretty much sums up our first weekend in NYC
OUR FIRST WEEKEND:
Our weekend didn't officially start till around 6 O'clock Friday night when we got off work! We wondered down the rainy streets of NY to 34th street to grab some Five Guys Burgers & Fries before our 7:30 Movie premier of FOOTLOOSE... O yes it was beyond fabulous and we desperately wanted to dance down the streets towards home after!! We decided sleep was necessary for us to function on Saturday so we slept in not feeling a bit guilty. Once we finally got moving the only thing on our agenda was S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G. We headed towards Union Square for the rest of the day. We stumbled upon this cute little fresh market from the pictures above and then some amazing shopping. We started at Feline's Basement--> DSW--> Shoe Mania--> Nordstrom Rack--> and finished at Strawberry.. boy were we exhausted but had to regroup fast. We threw our bags in our apartment and headed out to the Ainsworth bar to cheer on the Tide!! We met up with 10 other girls from UA and had an absolute blast. The Ainsworth is a UA alum bar in New York so everyone had shakers in hand and knew the lyrics to "Yea ALabama" and "Rammer Jammer" we fit right in!! Look who we stumbled upon for those of you AXO's reading.......

WELL Sunday should be a day of rest and ours turned out to be the complete opposite. We thought we woke up in time to make our 11:30 brunch reservation at the Essex House (from Sex & the City)Swanky, we know...but turns out we were 30 minutes late and sat on the subway for 45 minutes prior. Supposedly the subways don't run as frequently on the weekends... it's TRUE. We did eventually make it and it was heaven on earth. The french toast with bananna foster and mimosas were a great way to start our day!
After indulging at Essex we decided to walk it off across the island. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge... really just 1/2 way. We got hot and I got whiny but it was still the most amazing view and we are so glad it turned out to be a beautiful day!
After the walk to Brooklyn we decided we needed some R&R so off to Central Park we went (after our stop at Bloomingdales.. we have a problem, we're aware of it) Central park was full of life since it was gorgeous outside, not only was there tons of puppies and birds but also a pigeon who decided to share some love with SB. HA it was the highlight of my day!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, we miss you all!!

How is it that SB and I ALWAYS get love from the pigeons?? So gross...
