Anderson and Susan take over Manhattan

One of the best parts about living in NYC is having friends come visit me - after all when else will they have a free place to stay and their own personal tour guide! This weekend my friends Anderson and Susan came to see the city in all its Christmas glory. When they arrived Friday night I took them to one of my favorite local Italian spots - Uva. Then Saturday morning we work up, grabbed some breakfast and headed to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. After a Mexican lunch, we made our way to Canal Street so the girls could do some shopping and then Saturday night we grabbed sushi and went out on the town afterward. On Sunday I put the girls on the "Red Bus" and they rode ALL OVER NEW YORK checking out the city! It was a great weekend and, Susan and Anderson, I hope you come visit again soon! You guys are welcome anytime!

I'm obsessed with Jackie Kennedy so I had to get my picture in front of this Andy Warhol piece, "Nine Jackies".

Susan and her profile!

I think we could have done these pieces! haha!

The Holidays Hit the Upper East Side

Ok, so I told Jenny that I would take a couple pics of my little Christmas tree for her! This tiny baby is real, smells great, and is dropping needles like crazy already! I think I killed it. Then I hung a wreath on the mirror, added a couple reindeer and nutcrackers.....presto chango. Its Christmas!
