The Sights of New York

 I’ve only been back from NY for a week and oh do I miss it.  Despite the fact that our trip was only a few days, I did manage to see the a lot of the city, visit a few of my favorite stores and take in the sights.  Since you couldn’t be with me, I thought I’d bring New York to you (in no particular order).

 Enjoy!

The famous Bouchon Bakery and their even more famous Macarons!  I’m not a Macaron fan but did try the lemon tart (below Macarons) and it was delicious!
