My spouse and I visited New York City for the weekend in
late July 2018 in order to attend a bachelor/bachelorette weekend. We were
celebrating the impending nuptials of our sister/sister-in-law, and Manhattan
was a convenient place for the key players to meet because three of them live
there permanently, with a fourth an occasional resident. But others drove/flew
in from Boston, Atlanta, and Pennsylvania. We were able to take a half-day of
vacation on Friday afternoon, so we arrived in the city in time to have a light
lunch and relax at the hotel before leaving to attend a cocktail party (which
was really more of a dinner, with all the great food) at a friend’s amazing
apartment. On Saturday, some of the group went for pampering at the Ancient
Aire Baths, and others went to the Yankees game. On Saturday evening, we all
met up for a fantastic family-style meal at Barbuto; afterwards, we continued
our celebration at The Roof[top] bar at The Viceroy. We were on our own on
Sunday, so we planned to have lunch and then drive home; however, we won
Broadway lottery tickets, so we changed our meal plan and grabbed a good sushi
lunch before we went to the show. It was nice to join friends for a great
weekend in the city!
