Hey guys,
So whenever I am planning another trip to NYC I always have a list of places that I want to visit while I am there. These are places that I have either seen in a movie, read about online or somewhere else, or heard about from another person. I love exploring the city and seeing everything that it has to offer (which is a lot, by the way).

On the
second day for breakfast we at a place called Rocco’s, I had a cup of hot
chocolate because it was freezing outside. I also had some French toast because
that is my favorite breakfast item along with Belgium waffles. The hot
chocolate was really good, not the best I’ve ever had but I don’t drink coffee
and I really wanted something to warm me up. The French toast was amazing
though.
After we
finished with breakfast our next stop was a store called BookMarc, which is the
bookstore that was started and owned by Marc Jacobs the designer. It was a very
neat bookstore. They sold some interesting books though. I actually ended up
purchasing a book called “101 Things I Learned in Fashion School” by Alfredo
Cabrera and Matthew Frederick. I also purchased a mini journal that says
“New York BookMarc” on it and a couple pencils that say “BookMarc” on them. I
definitely want to go back there the next time I visit NYC just to see what
else they are selling.
BookMarc
didn’t actually open up until 11 am and it was about 10:50 am by the time we
got there so we ended up having to wait a little bit before they opened and we
didn’t really want to wait outside in the freezing cold air so thankfully there
was Magnolia Bakery across the street. So we went across the street to check it
out because this bakery has been featured in movies and TV shows and people
talk about it online as well. We only ended up purchasing some hot chocolate
because we still stuffed from breakfast.
Next, we
stopped into a TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Bed Bath & Beyond shopping plaza. We
only ended up shopping at the TJ Maxx and I was the only one who purchased
something. If you love anything involving fashion
including clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry, TJ Maxx is a great place to
shop to find designer stuff for a lot cheaper than the original price. We
always like to stop into a TJ Maxx because they are always better than the ones
we have where I live and because the designer selection is always so much
better. However, I didn’t end up purchasing anything fun. I ended up purchasing
shoe inserts because my feet were killing me. Sadly, the shoes inserts did not
help at all.
For
dinner we decided to get room service because we wanted to relax a little bit
before heading back out. We ended up ordering a large pepperoni pizza and we
totally forgot that New York pizza is completely different than Florida pizza.
Our pizza arrived in an extremely large box and each slice was more like two
slices. Thankfully we enjoy eating pizza very much and we ended up having pizza
for breakfast the next day and for dinner the following day. Also, latter we
discovered that the room service we ordered was actually a pizza company that
delivered the pizza to our hotel and then to our room rather than the hotel
kitchen making it for us.
At the
end of the day we ended up checking out Madame Tussauds in Times Square. I have
always wanted to check it out but never wanted to pay for it because it seems
kind of silly to spend so much money looking at wax figures of celebrities. I
am so glad that we finally ended up doing it though because it was a lot of fun
and I loved how they set up different scenes for each celebrity. I totally
recommend doing this is you have enough time or if you have been to NYC more
than once. Since I love fashion so
much, it was really cool getting to go to this museum and look at all of the
amazing clothes that they had dressed these wax figures in. Another interesting Museum that we checked out on the first day was called the Guggenheim.

with me to New York, check out my What's in my Carry-On post.
