Day #2 - Serious shopping.

This morning we were up after 8am and on our way to Pain Quotidien by 9:30.

We then took a cool picture in our mirror because neither of us have long enough arms to take a "kid" picture.

And here are some pictures of our amazing studio apartment!

Kitchen!

I then introduced Theresa to NYC's Lord and Taylor.  We spent at least two hours checking out the shoes and trying on clothing. And boy did we score! Theresa and I both got shoes; we also bought shorts and capris. After L&T, we needed some food, so we checked out the the restaurant at Bryant Park. I had lovely lamb tacos; Theresa had a pedestrian Caesar salad - the only so-so entree she had this weekend.

We also retrieved my umbrella from Joe Allen (I had left it behind the night before) and got Theresa's girls some souvenirs  -- and we walked past the Once theater.

While Theresa was buying t shirts and stuff, I found a great sign; I didn't buy it -- just took a picture.

We took the subway to Grand Central Station and checked out the beautiful ceiling.

Back at the hotel, we discovered that happy hour was every evening rather than Monday-Friday -- yay!

We rested for a little while and then had dinner at Artisanal, a favorite and really close to our hotel. I had carrot gnocchi and octopus; Theresa had brick cooked chicken.  Everything was so delicious - it's still a great place when you're too tired to schlepp over to the Chelsea/ Meat-packing/Soho, etc., areas from Murray Hill...

For dessert Theresa tasted her first real macaron; we also had Madeleines and petit fours. All desserts were, of course, absolutely yummy.

After dinner we strolled down to Eataly for beer and cheese... Quite a hopping place.  We walked through the shopping area on the first floor and then ate at the rooftop Biererra.  I ordered cheese but ended up taking it home because I was just too full.  I didn't take this picture, but it shows the ambiance of La Bierrera during the day.

Afterwards, our path took us up Park Avenue and back to our hotel -- bed by 11:30.
