Wallstreet and Broadway

I work at the 100 Broadway office. My mom wanted to see where I work...so I thought I'd share with all of you! I'm on the 20th floor overlooking Trinity Church to the West. It's OLD. Like SUPER-dooooper old. But we'll get to that gorgeousness in a moment.

Here is a tour:


The view is kinda amazing. These windows near me face West over Broadway and Trinity Church. (did you know they own the most real estate in NYC!)

As I approach the front door to leave each evening around 5:30pm - I am greeted by the historical Trinity Church. Enchanting is my first thought that comes to mind...
A look uptown - North on Broadway

...before crossing the street and a quick look back at my building.

I found the next photo at www.panoramio.com/photo/17963312 because it shows the church amongst it's neighbors. My building is actually to the left/across the street from the church. This is looking southward on Broadway. The adjacent cemetery is lovely and filled with a feeling of deep roots.

Reading the tombstones, I envision the stories of the lives that were lived more than 100 years ago...it's truly enchanting. Some even brought tears to my eyes.

The church itself has a rich history and is a landmark.

"When the present Trinity Church was consecrated on Ascension Day May 1, 1846, its soaring Neo-Gothic spire, surmounted by a gilded cross, dominated the skyline of lower Manhattan. Trinity was a welcoming beacon for ships sailing into New York Harbor. Though skyscrapers have risen all around it, Trinity Church still stands as a significant statement of spiritual values in the heart of downtown Manhattan and serves as a center for contemplation, worship, and Christian community. " [http://www.trinitywallstreet.org/history/]

And finally a quick walk south on Broadway past the fruit carts, turn left/East on Wall street and walk down to the subway for a :25 train home :)

Happy Easter Sunday!

Love you guys! It's
spring here!

Laughing, ribs and margaritas! GOOD TIMES!

Saturday night was a blast! I met up with Steven Fairchild for a repeat RIB night! OMG. People, if only this were a SCRATCH-N-SNIFF blog.

So good.

And that huge drink? A Strawberry Margarita.

So good.













Then we headed over to see JAY MOORE at the Gothem Comedy Club. I've been a fan of Last Comic Standing and knew it'd be a fun night. We had some GREAT laughs, good drinks and PINKBERRY to top it off!

Did I mention: I LOVE NY!! Thanks to Steven for the fun!

*Beware if you're headed off to the comedy clubs - we were both a bit caught off guard with the language - - the tv routines are definitely PG compared to clubs!

Easter flowers, Glorious FLOWERS.

Today I ventured out to Macy's to view the Macy's Flower Show. It was lovely.

My favorite part were the delicate ladies in the windows. Gorgeous!

I was truly overwhelmed by this Macy's, all 7 (I think) over-sized floors! And for those who know me...I'm not EVER overwhelmed with shopping. I think I might have started to hyperventilate!

To all of you, a very lovely Easter. I miss being with you friends and family this weekend.

Love to every one of you.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!

I am so excited! I just bought a charcoal gray, very chic couch and chair originally from Room and Board! It looks and feels like velvet - and is going to look great in my room!! She took great care of them and they are in new condition.

I'm tellin' ya -- what a thrill! It's a fantastic feeling when you find the diamonds amongst the rubbish on Craigslist! This is my 2nd CL purchase and get this: both within 3 blocks of my house...just by chance!

These pics I took only :45 minutes ago at the seller's home...get this! Only $200 for the PAIR. So awesome.

My vision is coming together nicely...oh how I love decorating! I can't wait to show you the before and after!
