Summer in the City

NYC is a happening place in the summer.  There are so many fun and cool things to do here this time of year.  Last summer I was so new that I was I just trying to survive my days.  Now that I have my head above water it has been so fun to take advantage of all these events with my friends.  This summer has been filled with concerts in the park, live music and dancing on the pier, movies on the hudson, broadway at bryant park, street festivals, swing dancing at lincoln center, shakespeare in the park, beach days and so on......you get the pictures. 
I have really enjoyed the benefits of living in this city the last couple months and am trying so hard to soak in these summer days!  

This is what Great Lawn looked like when the Philharmonic played in Central Park this week

Grab your park blanket, some food, and maybe a few beverages and enjoy a delightful evening listening to the symphony in the park 


NYC restaurant week is another wonderful summer "must do".  About 100 or more fabulous, yet very expensive restaurants have a special low cost menu for 2 weeks only in NYC.  It is a great way for us New Yorkers who can not typically take part in these fine dining experiences to be able to afford to have the opportunity to enjoy such a nice place.  Several of my friends and I took advantage of this offer and had a very yummy dinner at Delmonico's on Wall Street.  We actually chose the very first restaurant that was established in America to dine at this evening.  
For my tasty 3 course meal I chose a blue cheese salad as my appetizer, filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and vegetables as my main course, and a yankee doodle cake for desert... "Oh it was delicious" as the 2 year old H mister says



Thats all for now.  My new goal(although I think I have had this goal before) is to blog more.  I don't even know if anyone really reads this thing, but blogging is such a good outlet for me to share my thoughts and experiences.  so for those of you who keep up with this little blog maybe you should just check it more often:-)
