"America's Weekend" (as quoted by USA Today) - 4th of July in NYC

I have said for a long time that Hong Kong is my favorite city....but I will say NYC certainly is very close in the rankings! I have spent time in cities here and there and each certainly has its own special charm....I have a difficult time putting a finger on exactly what it is I love about New York......It is a place that feels "accepting". That it doesn't matter who you are, where you've been, or what your intentions are....you are just welcome.

This trip we stayed in the Meat Packing District. The above shot was one of the amazing views from the hotel. The area is filled with high end boutiques, a great market, and great food. We never made it to the "Boom Boom Room" - the restaurant on the top floor - But I am certainly curious!!

We took a very hot walk through Central Park, fireworks over the Hudson, a barbie with some good friends, a lot of wandering, cannoli's, squash lessons, a world cup game, pizza........An amazing weekend in the big city and can't wait to go back!!
