sundays in new york city

sunday deserves a good breakfast. i was totally up for grabbing a scone and a coffee at starbucks but apparently everyone else was looking for more of a sit down sunday breakfast. we ended up going to a place right on 5th across from central park. this was not my kind of restaurant, basically the menu was any kind of eggs possible or $20 pancakes/french toast. oh there was also a baby bear porridge. if you know me at all you probably know what i got. after breakfast we walked around central park for a few hours.

i took dozens of pictures 

after walking through central park we walked around 5th avenue and did a bit of shopping. we walked around union square and on broadway around 12th and 13th there was the massive strand book store i mentioned. i loved it.. it was a pretty amazing bookstore, book shelves up to the ceiling. i bought three books, the scarlett letter, the virgin suicides and paint it black.. lol now im excited to finish water for elephants so i can start reading one.

then we walked along soho, noho, greenwich and along canal street, insane change in atmosphere there.

so around 4:30 we figured we should get something to eat.. ohh i forgot to mention we had bought tickets to see rock of ages at 7:30 pm. subway back to times square, we asked the concierge what restaurants she recommends. ended up going to a little italian family owner restaurants called ecetera, ecetera. very good food. then off to broadway!

rock of ages wasn't my first choice but it ended up being pretty good. 

i thoroughly enjoyed walking the city.

and i love bookstores

and im pretty sure coffee was part of our everyday - it made me happy.
