Take Jeff and me and put us on a train super early on a Saturday morning headed to New York City. See three (yes, 3!!!) shows, have lunch with a seriously cool lady who just happens to be a writer for General Hospital (No way! Way!!), find an awesome NY deli for breakfast that offers gluten-free bagels, all while walking everywhere! Not to mention we managed to fit drinks in with a friend from high school, dinner with Jeff's uncle, and made it to Juniors for the yummiest slice of cheesecake. End the weekend with a train back to D.C. departing Penn Station at 9:00pm Sunday evening, being in NYC for every possible minute we can before having to resume our regular lives on Monday morning.
I love NY! I realize it will never be practical to live there, but it sure is nice to visit. I love the energy, I love the people, I love the skyscrapers, I love the skyline. I love it all!
How wonderful Jeff and I could make this weekend a reality while the kids were at camp.

As heard in the "Hamilton" soundtrack, "It's the greatest city in the world."
Jeff and I have been to New York just frequently enough over the past several years that we seem to end up at the same exact restaurants completely by coincidence. It's not until we are inside and seated at the same table that we realize we've been there before, and sometimes twice before. Out of the tens of thousands of restaurants we could eat at, we've managed to randomly pick the same Chinese restaurant, Italian restaurant and diner. It's pretty funny when it happened again this past visit to New York. We've agreed to give up trying to find anything new and just keep visiting what seems to be our favorite places. Hey, if it works, why mess with it?
Nora Ephron sums up my feelings perfectly: "I look out the window and I see the lights and the skyline and the people on the street rushing around looking for action, love, and the world’s greatest chocolate chip cookie, and my heart does a little dance."
