NYC Trip Report, 2.27.09

As some of you know, Travis and I enjoyed a trip to NYC recently. We call it our “last act of irresponsibility.” Not that traveling to NYC is irresponsible, but when faced with purchasing a home and furniture vs. a vacation – it was a tad “irresponsible” to vacation. We went to NY to wrap up a few last items from the wedding, such as photos, and do all of things we hadn’t gotten to yet. It was a whirlwind of a trip, with a nice surprise at the end.

The trip was planned around our dear friend, Amanda’s 30th birthday. The best part was that we surprised her! She wasn’t expecting us and on her way to dinner we surprised her by waiting on the sidewalk. It was AWESOME! I love to surprise people! We enjoyed a dinner at Jekyll and Hyde. Afterwards, we ventured through Rockefeller Center to take photos with her and various “30’s” and then on to the lower East side for dessert.

The Dessert Truck is amazing! It was featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay and they won! Their warm chocolate bread pudding with bacon crème anglaise is awesome! The crème brulee was one of the best I have had outside of Trav’s and mine. Everything is $5 and the city-feel of it made it all the better.

Afterwards, we enjoyed beers at Ace Bar and the Irish Pub. Then we retired to our room after an exhausting few days and traveling. Nighty night NYC.
