WELCOME TO
Hey buds! I'm back!! As many of you may already know, I was able to take an awesome 5 day trip to New York City with my good friend Keely! Her sister and now my friend, Madisen, has moved there to start her career working with Condé Nast (or better known as the people who run Vogue, Teen Vogue and GQ, just to name a few.) I was super pumped about going, not only for a nice vacay from working and every day life, but also to get a behind the scene look at what Madisen does and all the cool things New York has to offer. I'm going to go day by day and tell you about some of the highlights of my experience! ![]() T H U R S D A Y CONDÉ: Keely and I flew out at 6 a.m. on Thursday morning and were honestly dead the entire plane ride haha. But when we got to NYC we had a packed schedule and got a move on! We went straight over to Condé after dropping our stuff off at Madisen's apartment and got a tour of the whole place. Best way to describe it is simply... WOW! I've never seen such a great place to work at. There was an amazing food court, gallery and an awesome view of the city... just to name a few. 9/11 MUSEUM: Afterwards we went to the 9/11 museum which I would highly recommend to go see if you are ever in NY. We were there for 2 hours and still didn't make it through the entire thing. But the records that have been kept is absolutely mind blowing. From left over pieces of the trade centers to actual documented voice messages to people that lost their lives, I was truly blown away (and I'm not a huge museum person lol). WESTLIGHT: Before we turned in for the night we went to a hotel that had a rooftop looking over the city. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
F R I D A Y BROOKLYN BARGE: There was a cute place that Maddie found to take Keely and I that was like a bar with little tables on the water. Although me and Keely felt a little motion sickness at first, it definitely got better! I really enjoyed this cute place looking over the water and Brooklyn Bridge. HOTEL CHANTEL: Actually not a Hotel at all but more of a cute rooftop that had awesome Happy Hour deals and my favorite drink that I had while there... FROSÉ!! What's frosé? Frozen Rosé for a great deal of 4 dollars that left my pockets and taste buds happy. It was absolutely great! LITTLE ITALY: We had some bomb dinner here before the play and it was set up exactly how Italy is with all the outdoor and open front eating options. Pasta was so yummy and I didn't even get to finish it because of how filling it was. ANASTASIA ON BROADWAY: This play was so cute! I had never seen the movie before so I really enjoyed seeing the play. The actors did a phenomenal job and Maddie even cried at the end lol. STARDUST: If you ever go to New York please go check out Stardust Diner! It's a little restaurant near Time Square where all the servers are trying to make it to Broadway so they perform! They have a wall on the inside of all the people who have made it out and the rest of the people there are surely on their way! ![]()

MET STEPS: Where my Gossip Girl fans at? I know y'all know the famous steps that Serena and Blair ate their yogurt at, well I got to visit! I honestly just wanted to be cliché and get a picture on the steps lol. ![]()
DA BOAT: LOL Y'ALL!! This was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip. This boat cruise we went on one night took us out on the Hudson River around the Statue of Lib and had a DJ and a bar. When I tell y'all it was wild... I mean it was crazy! That was the most fun I had in such a long time. Everyone was just turnt and no one sat down the whole time which made it even better.
S U N D A Y BRUNCH: We went to a brunch at this place called Staton Social that served spiked snow cones. It was really cool! They also served food in appetizer style so we were able to go multiple rounds of different foods. M O N D A Y SHAKE SHACK: This was our last time out before we went to the airport but it was a good way to end the trip. A really good burger and shake place that definitely had me stuffed!
NYC was such a great time and I feel so blessed to have been able to visit and see all that I have seen. New York truly does have so much to offer, especially for people with BIG DREAMS. I would highly recommend visiting if you have never been. If you have comment and tell me what was your favorite thing you did! If you have any questions about my trip please feel free to reach out. Until next week!
