Suggestions:

1.) I have a few things that I need some suggestions for. I'm trying to find the perfect office furniture, and I'm so indecisive. The only other place I've checked was Costco Home. I have my eye on something at Cortate, but if anyone has any other suggestions of where I should look, I'm all ears.


2.) I know I've asked this before, and I got a few great suggestions, but if anyone else has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them too. I am putting together our final plans for New York. We leave in a few weeks, and I'm wondering what we should do and see. We are already planning to see shows every night we are there, but during the day the only things we've planned are to go to Ellis Island, Shopping in Soho, The MET, & Ice skating in Rockefeller Center. PLEASE tell me what else we should do!!
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!

Oh my gosh. I am so jealous that you are going to NYC in the winter time!! We wanted to go during Thanksgiving, but didn't b/c of money, etc. You are going to have so much fun. I love Broadway shows. That's my #1 thing to do there! I can't wait until the day that I get to see Wicked.
Umm....I don't really have any other suggestions. The only thing that I can say to NOT do is the Rockefeller Center Tour. They have other ones, like NBC and things, but the actual Rockefeller one was very boring. It was like I was sitting in a humanities class, and don't get me wrong...I like art, but I didn't like that! Have fun!!!!

You have to go have a frozen hot chocolate at Seridipity. Ty and I went to New York a few years ago and had a blast. Serindipity was fun and the food was awesome...good lunch spot! Rice to Riches was really good too for dessert, it is all rice pudding...all different types and toppings....can you tell we were all about the food?:) I also got a picture with good ol' Rupret from the Hello Deli (from Dave Letterman). It's just so fun to be there...go and take it all in! You can't beat scary China town and their coach and tiffany knock offs!!

I was going to say Serendipity too...it's fun and you can't beat the frozen hot chocolate. Also, walk up and down the shops (I don't know where they are exactly) and look at all the Christmas windows! They are so detailed and fun!

Super jealous you are going!

What shows are you seeing? We saw the show Curtains and loved it! Mary Poppins is also a crowd pleaser. If you have never been to the Empire State Building that is always fun. Chinatown, stroll through Central Park (can see the John Lennon "Imagine" plaque), walk across Brooklyn Bridge, FAO Swartz (spelling?) (play the piano that was in BIG), Rockefellar Center (there is a fabulous chocolate place, very pricey that I just mooched off my family members that bought some called Tueschers or something). If you watch the today show sometimes it's fun to see Studio 1A. This is a long list but I was just thinking of some of the things we did. I can't remember if you have been there or not but the Statue of Liberty is a must too. Have fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.I'm jealous!

Go to the MOMA too! Even if you don't like modern art, it should not be missed! AND eat at the Shake Shack :) Mmmmm

I know what you should do bring us with you. We could probably squeeze into your suitcase. I'm not kidding.

My only suggestion for your NYC trip is that you buy me a ticket, too. Seriously. Can I stow away? lol

So fun! I hear NY in December is a must see! So my suggestion (because I am obsessed with finding the best cupcake) is to go to Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village.Seriously, do it. Their cupcakes are so good! (We saw Julianne Moore when we were there) Also, if you want to buy any Gucci, Coach, Prada, etc "knockoff" purses, Canal St is a must! Call me if you might be interested because you really have to be looking for it. Have the best time!!!
