I jetted up to NYC over President’s Day weekend to get a little “girl” time (it was GREAT!) and had one of those “pinch me” moments on Sunday night. Amy and I were wandering in the Meat Packing district (isn’t that what everyone does when they visit NYC??) as it got dark. This was a new zone for me, so i was taking in all the brick streets and old warehouses turned hip restaurants and bars. She wanted to show me the High Line, a new greenspace created using the abandoned elevated train tracks that run along the Hudson River. First of all the view from basically two stories up (outdoors) is amazing!! You can see New Jersey across the river on one side and Manhatten on the other. I had to stop and snap this photo…
I don’t fancy myself a photographer, but I gotta say, this is an awesome shot!! The Empire State Building lit up in red, white, and blue for President’s Day… cool. But wait!! What’s that in the left foreground? The logo for Diane Von Furstenberg emblazoned on the side of that building! And that cool glass faceted dome on top of the building… Where have I seen that before??
What a cool brush with fame! A girls weekend in NY sounds fab…maybe someday!
