New York at Christmas has been something I have wanted to experience for a long time. My two daughters and I decided to meet up and have a girls weekend right after Thanksgiving. It did not disappoint!
We stayed at the Luma Hotel New York. The location was so convenient and we were able to get around by walking most of the time. I had Thursday to myself and I walked over to Bryant Park to shop, eat and watch the skaters.
The next day, my youngest daughter, Liza and I had a dream come true and visited the showroom of Julie Vos. If you have been following me for a while, you know I am a Julie Girl. I love this jewelry so much. We actually got to meet and visit with Julie herself. Being treated to some very special and treasured pieces was unbelievable! Just seeing EVERYTHING was amazing! We are so grateful to the team and Julie for this experience!
All of the walking, shopping and cold weather made us very hungry! We stopped in a little deli for some hot soup and sandwiches. It hit the spot. Then we headed to the hotel for a rest and waited for my other daughter, Sarah, to arrive.
Off to Bryant Park the three of us went. There we enjoyed the skaters, had some great hot chocolate and Sarah tried “street meat”! She loved it! We had a reservation for dinner at Eataly and enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Manzo restaurant.
The next day was Soho shopping and the girls and I had a ball. We saw street singers, beautiful windows and more but it was very very crowded.
We decided to see the Saks windows Saturday night! This was one of my favorite things of the trip!
But inside of Saks Fifth Avenue was pretty outstanding too! This store brought back the grander times of retail giants for me. The selection was incredible. And talk about inspiring!!!! WOWZA!
Before we knew it it was Sunday and it was time to pack up and we had one more stop, Nordstrom.
Again so much inspo and brunch was great too. I was off to the airport before I knew it. Tears in my eyes after saying goodbye to my girls and this amazing city.
There were lessons learned. I would go during the week and not on the weekend. I would stay for at least 4 days. So much to see and do. I would love to hear all your favorites in New York. Hoping to go back again and maybe catch a show or two!
Happy Holidays to you and yours,
XOXO,
Kim
