nyc.

a few weeks ago i took a fun little girls trip to nyc. spent the weekend in brooklyn (my first visit there) and and then headed to manhattan! it was a fabulous weekend filled with fun beers, yummy food, great modern art and some quality best girlfriend time.

erin and i at the blackbird parlour in brooklyn. our awesome waiter put together our entire lunch menu. everything he suggusted was delicious!!! and i must say they have the best grilled cheese that i have ever tasted. check it out! he also introduced us to a new beer, kostrizer black lager. it looks dark like a guiness but tastes very light! delish!




saturday morning, headed into the city to meet up with sam, allie and chey and we headed to the MoMa to check out the tim burton, the new typography and bauhaus exhibits!
