Hi lovelies!
Today I am back with another travel blog! As most of you know I love to travel and I love capturing my experiences and sharing them with all of my readers! Kyle and I took a recent trip to New York City right before Christmas. Every year we like to do a Christmas getaway together and this year we picked NYC! It was a blast! ☺️
Times Square Shopping & Eating
Time’s Square in and of itself is so much fun! All the bright lights and hustle and bustle (especially around the holidays) sends a rush of adrenaline through you. There is also so much fun shopping to do! Hershey’s, M&M World, I ❤️ NYC gift shops, Christmas in New York, the Disney Store, essentially all major retailers, the list goes on and on! If you love to shop, New York is the place for you! I definitely got my fill. ☺️
In terms of what I wore on this trip, I knew I wanted to dress comfortable but also dress stylish! On the first day I wore this ribbed black turtleneck with black leggings and my gray / taupe booties. I’ve been really into wearing turtlenecks recently, I think they are so cute and fitting for this time of year! I also liked how sleek this look was. I put my hair back in a ponytail, popped in my hoop earrings, and threw on some berry lipstick and was ready to take on the city!
The second outfit is very similar but has a little more pop. I wore this perrywinkle turtleneck with black leggings and my cheetah print booties (which aren’t pictured unfortunately). I kept my hair down this day and popped in my cheetah print earrings to compliment the boots. I loved how the cheetah print looked with the perrywinkle color! So pretty! Both of these outfits were comfortable and kept me warm, but I still looked put together as well!
When it comes to eating, I have found several places that I will definitely be visiting next time I come back! The first one is Junior’s Bakery (which has two locations in Times Square). It has amazing soups, burgers, sandwiches, among other things. However, they are famous for their cheesecake! It is a MUST HAVE if you’re a cheesecake connoisseur like myself! Kyle and I tried three different flavors in our time there and loved them all. Another great breakfast spot was the Brooklyn Diner! If you are a breakfast fanatic, you will love this place! And lastly, perhaps one of my favorite places of all time, Ellen’s Stardust Diner! I went for the first time a couple years ago when I was in NYC with some girlfriends. I went back this time with Kyle and forgot how much I loved it! The wait staff is comprised of aspiring Broadway artists so they perform for you while you’re eating! It was an incredible experience, the food is great too!
Broadway Shows
On this trip I went to my first Broadway show and it was nothing short of AMAZING! We saw Disney’s Aladdin which was absolutely stunning in every way. I am a huge Disney fan which made it even more fun! I highly recommend seeing a Broadway show at least once in your life, there are so many amazing ones running all the time and the talent these people have is astounding!
Rockefeller Center
Another must see, especially if you ever go around Christmas time, is Rockefeller Center! The tree is one of the most magnificent things I have ever seen in my life. Kyle and I got engaged in front of this tree during this trip, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Of course there’s always the ice skating too, which even though I didn’t get the chance to do I’m sure it would be super fun!
Thank you so much for reading about our trip to NYC, we had a blast! Comment below what fun trips you have planned or have been on recently! I would love to hear. ❤️
I hope everyone is having a fantastic 2020 so far!
