The Stacy's in NYC (August 2010)

I love New York City! I love theatre, fashion and culture. You find this all when visiting the big apple. We took a family vacation and this was our first stop. We stayed in a very old hotel which has such an awesome contemporary style to it as well. It was only a block from time square and was located in the theatre district. 

This was Corey's first time ever to NYC. He drove into fearless and didn't believe the "stories" of how crazy busy it is! Let’s just say he was surprised.

Our first day there we went to an amazing restaurant "Babbo's" There is such a difference in real Italian food compared to Olive garden. It was delish! If you ever in NYC, I highly recommend this restaurant! It very simple and elegant, a small location with a beautiful curtain when you walked into the door. Just LOVELY!

Our second day there we were able to catch the ferry over to the statue of liberty. I have always wanted to see it. It was such a beautiful island. We toured the inside of the statue and climbed up to see how beautiful NYC looked. It was breath taking! They have a small museum at the bottom where they have all the history to read. After done touring we just stayed on the island for a little and relaxed under the shade tree and let Kerhia run around. Just what my soul needed!

You would think that we came to NYC to only eat.. well we kind of did.

Our next dinner was at the "The Maze";Gordon Ramsey's restaurant. We ordered the chef's pick for the night which is a five course meal. I can't even explain how good it was! Kerhia enjoyed her butter noodles and we enjoyed a night filled with amazing courses!

On the third day we spent the day shopping. Who goes to NYC without a full day to shop! We also were able to do something very special with the girls. We took them to American girl to purchase their first American Dolls with dinner at American girl to follow. It was such a fun experience. Even at age one Kerhia enjoyed it! They made it so.. GIRLY! They had hair bows to take home as napkin rings and of course they brought out tea for your doll to enjoy as well. I will for sure be taking the girls again when they get older.

That was such a fun trip weekend in New York City with my sweet family. We walked into the subway to only walk right back out to grab a taxi, CRAZY! Hoping we can enjoy the Big City again when the girls are older!
