Ahhhh! I’m so excited to be here! 
The Electrolux people hooked us up with an amazing hotel! I’m obsessed! Well, actually, I’m obsessed with every fancy hotel that I encounter! 
I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight!
Love the silk robe! I’ll definitely use that!
Swag!
The view from my room!
After spazzing out with excitement, I met up with Sabrina for lunch.
We walked over to Chelsea Market, a funky enclosed food court, to find some eats.
Sabrina and I walked around and checked out our options before deciding on Friedmans Lunch.
Friedmans Lunch serves traditional American food in a laid-back, cozy setting. I loved the decor– an open kitchen, dark wood tabletops, chalkboard menus, and vintage wallpaper.
With lunch, Sabrina and I drank water from an old wine bottle. It was very hip.
For lunch, I ordered the Vegetable Sandwich on sourdough. Inside was lots of veggies– carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts– and a nice thick layer of hummus.
The sandwich was served along side some field greens and a delicious pickle.
It was an excellent lunch! 
After lunch, we headed back to our hotel. Our first stop was the roof deck that overlooks the city. Check out this view!
Randomly, we ran into Meghann up there, so we took the opportunity to snap a photo together.
I’m going to squeeze in a quickie workout then get ready for a cocktail party!

It was so hard saying goodbye to my boys this morning. I’ll only be away for 3 days, but I’m really going to miss them! I’m already looking forward to giving them each a big hug when I get home.
Of course, it was tough to say goodbye– look at those adorable faces!
I made it to the airport in no time at all. (I’m really going to miss living so close once we move.) I also checked-in and made it through security in record time. I’m getting so much better at this travel stuff. Although, tall boots aren’t the easiest option for going through security. I prefer traveling in flip-flops!
While waiting to board my flight, I snacked on a peanut butter Cinch bar.
On the plane, I drank some water, read a magazine, and blogged this post. The flight from Logan to JFK was less than an hour, so it was over before I knew it!
Taking a photo of yourself on a plane is weird, but I did it anyway. It was for the blog.
Almost there! I can’t wait to say ‘hello’ to New York City!

Happy Monday! 
I had all of these great plans for this morning, such as going to the gym and visiting a new cafe for breakfast, but instead, I slept in and bummed around the apartment. Oh, well. I might as well save my energy for the Big Apple!
Breakfast
The selection of fruits and vegetables in my refrigerator was pretty much non-exist, except for a pathetic-looking bag of spinach. I didn’t have many options for breakfast, so I whipped up another Sweet Spinach Pancake with Barney Butter smeared on top.
Mmm… Barney Butter.
I made a strong batch of iced coffee the other day. Yowsahs!
