I’ve been gathering so many great links for my upcoming NYC trip that I thought I’d share.

This video is in um… Portuguese? But you get the drift How to Buy a Metro Card

I’ve been practicing my technique whenever possible!

Very excited about our hotel!

I can’t wait until it’s Coney Island day!

Easter Links

Has everyone figured out what they are making for Easter? Here’s a few links to help. Or, possibly make you second guess your decision, like this wonderful looking baked ricotta!

Baked Ricotta

This is what I’m making.

You gotta have hot cross buns!

Dana at Minimalist Baker made these yummy peanut butter eggs.

Hop over to Jordan’s site and get the how to for these cute bunny ear treat bags.

Happy Easter everyone!

Her Name is Lizzie Bennet…And That Was Awesome!

I’m sure you’ve heard about the 21st century update of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Today was the last episode of the web-series and I just have to say, as an Internet fan and especially as a die-hard Janeite, its brilliant!

I must admit I’m feeling a little bereft without my twice weekly (sometimes thrice weekly once Lydia’s vids popped up) dose of Bennet drama.

Well, I guess there’s nothing left to do but go back and watch them all AGAIN!

Getting Into a New York State of Mind

When we decided on New York for our family vacation I asked for a list of things each person wanted to do…
Empire State Building
Lunch at Les Halles
Rockefeller Center & Top of the Rock
See a Yankee Game
Shop at Supreme (Gavin)
Have photo taken with The Wall Street Bull (Kellen)
A day at Coney Island
Natural History Museum
Have an authentic New York Pastrami Sandwich
Picnic in Central Park
Check out Grand Central Terminal
Dinner in Little Italy
Visit 911 Memorial

I must say, this is why I love planning trips so much! Scouring the Internet for places to go and see and things to eat! Very excited!
