Packed Weekend

This weekend went by incredibly fast but probably because it was so great and we did so much. Mom and Dad came in for a little Fall trip. Since we packed in a ton of things this weekend I'm just going to give you some bullet points. (I think Ben likes it when I do this anyway)

  • Thursday night - Dinner in the village at the yummy yummy Market Table
  • Friday morning - grabbed some apple cider donuts at the farmers market and then hit the shopping streets until we met up with Ben to see the Off-Broadway play The Fantasticks. It was incredibly intimate and fun. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a great play and fun unique experience.
  • After the play we went down to our neighborhood and had drinks and after play eats at The Brandy Library.
  • Saturday we woke up early and went down to the 9/11 Memorial then drove to West Point and took a wonderfully beautiful and insightful tour of the campus. It should definitely be on the top of the most beautiful campus list. It overlooks the Hudson river and to top it off the leaves were changing. Gorgeous!
  • Then we drove to Cold Spring, NY and did a little antique shopping. 
  • Finally making our way back to the city, we had dinner at Marc Forgione down in Tribeca.
  • Sunday we made our way through Central Park and over to PJ Clarks for brunch then before they left to go back to Florida we hit up some Shake Shack for the closing dinner.
