new year in new york

* * *

i hate to have a cliche title, but i can't get over that i actually did spend my new years in new york! it sounds almost as cheesy as spending christmas in canada ;)

after spending our last couple of days in canada with our beautiful friend connie and her partner kieran in calgary, it was time to say goodbye to the maple leaf and hello to the big apple.

we had a slight overnight delay in montreal, which set our trip back a tad. it seemed as soon as we got ourselves settled in moniques abode (aka mansion!) in greenwich, CT, it was time to get ourselves organised for the biggest night out in NY.

equipped with our tickets to an open bar party in the east village and cute heels (read: BAD idea), we traipsed down several blocks of new york sidewalk.

finally after a few fails, we found it:

our new years hang out, although not quite what we expected...

but it had cute decor...

and we did manage to (eventually) meet some american pals

the most happiest new years in new york!

with the trains starting up again at 5am, we had a few more hours to kill in our heels before we could mission it back to greenwich CT. boy did it kill! but much to our heels delight in the warm back seat of a taxi on the way to grand central, we witnessed the 1st sunrise of 2011....

pretty spectacular.


big ups new york.
will be hitting you all soon with more on N Y C.
