New York City (July 2018)

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!
