New York...New York!

I thought with the upcoming vacation season approaching now was the perfect time to post about one of my favorite cities…you guessed it…New York!!! I love going to the Big Apple! It doesn’t matter what season it is…I love it! I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite restaurants, shops, and things to do while in New York.
