New York state of mind 🗽 NY will always hold a special place in my heart. I went to NYU, I also got divorced in NY—to my first husband—at 21–while I was a college student pursuing my academics to become a lawyer. It was the hardest time in my life, but that time in my life shaped me into the woman I am today. It’s not lost on me that the same city where I was at my lowest has always been there for me at my highest—this time, with the billboard in Times Square. When I say everything happens for a reason, it really does. I didn’t do much on this trip other than meetings and such, but here’s my itinerary:⁣
1. Stay — I love love LOVEEEEE staying at pendrymanhattanwest. It is top notch every step of the way and the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. 10/10 recommend. Plus, I love the location because you can walk outside the hotel and you are right there in Hudson Yards with shops and restaurants galore!⁣
2. Dinner at zouzousnyc—its so convenient that this place is attached to the hotel, and it is TOP NOTCH food. I ordered the Fig Poppa cocktail (SO GOOD), lamb tartare (not pictured), duck borek (12/10), hamachi, lamb tartare (not pictured), and more! ⁣
3. The amazing room and bathtub at Pendry, which I had no time to take advantage of!⁣
4. Me at my billboard in Times Square—SURREAL!⁣
5. Me taking selfies in my reformation polka dot dress!⁣
6. The best EVER frozen espresso martinis at canto_nyc with my dear friend thingsmyhusbandlikes!⁣
7. A 3x shot almond milk latte at blackfoxcoffeeco, also attached to the Pendry hotel. ⁣
⁣
Until next time NYC! I will be back in October for⁣
