1 — Saturday morning, a text from Kate:
This is super spontaneous but do you have any interest/ability to go to NY(C) this next weekend? Fri-Mon. I’m just hoping to see a ton of art fairs and eat some good food. haha
2 — There is almost nothing I love more than a spontaneous trip — near or far! It doesn’t always work out that I can be this spontaneous, with less than a week to departure — previous commitments, getting time off at work, prohibitive cost are the usual culprits — but this time, it worked out wonderfully! Yahoo!!
3 — NYC?? I’ve flown in/thru/out once or twice in recent years, but it’s been almost 10 years since I actually set foot on a New York City street. I’m so excited! I think I was a New Yorker in a previous life… or I’m gathering steam and will be in another.
3 — Saturday evening: airfare confirmation (at a great price)!
4 — Sunday afternoon: hotel booked.
5 — Monday: Tripit itinerary filled in.
6 — The Armory Show, Volta NY, Spring/Break, and the Whitney Museum of American Art are on the short list.
7 — The High Line, Central Park, and MoMA are on the longer list.
8 — Also a visit to Purl Soho (on my list, anyway), and within walking distance from our hotel! And bagels.
9 — We’re going to hit the ground running on Friday afternoon and GO-GO-GO until, exhausted, we board the plane for home on Monday afternoon.
10 — NYC, here we come!! (All suggestions are welcome!)

Hope you have as much fun as you can take!
I have only one suggestion that I think is a must do: The Tenement Museum! I’d also recommend Katz’s Deli, it’s just a couple of blocks from the museum.
LUCKY! Sounds like a wonderful trip! I’m looking forward to seeing it all through your eyes! If you see Cara give her a big hug from me!
Nice! Safe travels and enjoy! I’ve been to Purl Soho (and surprised at how small it is!!). There’s a button shop somewhere – or trims or something. Will try to get that info to you…also a bookstore that is different and supposed to be very good. off to look for those.
OK – the one store I was thinking of was Tinsel Trading Co. which has relocated to Berkeley, CA!! The bookstore is Bonnie Slotnick’s cookbooks: http://www.bonnieslotnickcookbooks.com – looks like it could be fun!!
What FUN!!!!!!! Y’all will have a FINE adventure.
XO
