The Plaza.
Nothing says New York to me more than the Plaza, okay maybe Central Park and the Statue of Liberty run close but for some reason, I think thanks to Hollywood movies, I love the Plaza. We had lunch there which was a little disappointing but I think the price is for the ambiance which I loved so totally worth it. Downstairs you can buy a men's dress shirt for $435...what a steal!
And Welcome to the West Village. I could totally move there next week. It's only $5000 a month for a one bedroom apartment....totally doable with 3 kids and a husband just growing his business. Seriously loved it here, though. I could have sat in their little park forever.
Magnolia Bakery. Anyone ever heard of it? It is featured in TV shows and movies. We later learned that Crumbs is the competing bakery and we were encouraged to go there. Katie Holmes was pictured in US Weekly at that very spot. We just missed her.
And #7 is Sarah Jessica Parker's home. That's right, her light was on and I ran fast to take a picture outside her home before a body guard jumped me. Don't you think our family would be the best neighbors in #5?!
The West Village is also home to Liv Tyler and Julianne Moore. We had the inside track. Tyler's friend works there and he became our own little celeb finding tour guide.
Despite the insane crowds and freezing winds that required me to wear a funky hat, I kept my eyes open for celebrities the entire 4 days. But I never saw one. However, at night when we would watch TMZ they would show pictures of celebs hanging out at the very spots we had just been....go figure.
