After a long blogging hiatus, I am back to blog about our current vacation, where else but NYC of course!
This trip will not be as detailed as the 2010 NYC trip, but I do want to keep an account of what we're doing, and most importantly, what we're eating! :)
We arrived last night to our apartment we've rented for the next 10 days. We are again in Greenwich Village, which is in our opinion, the best location in NYC to stay and hang out in.
This apartment, while in a fabulous location, is not nearly as fabulous as our wonderful apartment last summer. It's not horrible, but I will say that the lady we are renting it from is quite skilled at photography and made the apartment seem much more spacious than it actually is. Our 400 sq ft apartment last summer looks like a sprawling resort compared to our accommodations this year.The room itself is fine, complete with a bed, tiny kitchen, and 2 airy windows. However, the bathroom is the smallest bathroom I have ever been in (except airplane bathrooms). I can literally stand in the middle of the bathroom floor (if you call 4 inches between the toilet and sink a "floor") and touch all four walls with my arms outreached. I have a newfound appreciation for Harry Potter's "cupboard under the stairs" in which he lived at his Aunt and Uncle's home. We are living in a "Cupboard in the Village" but at least we are in NYC so I shouldn't complain too much.
We left the Cupboard last night and went to a phenomenal restaurant down the street called "Buvette". It was a quaint little French restaurant, where we enjoyed a couple glasses of wine and the best "boeuf bourguignon" we've ever tasted. The deliciousness of the meal
helped me come to terms about staying in the tiny apartment, and we returned to the Cupboard full and happy.
