Photos for you to enjoy from my NYC trip. As you can see, even though the race didn’t happen, we still had an AMAZING trip!!!
Began the trip by going to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.
Sipped on Rose at La Grenouille (this is right before I found out the race was canceled).
Downed our race sorrows at the Lion King. Pretty great that they serve you vodka in sippy cups! And the show was fantastic!
Visited the infamous “Dangling Crane”.
Went to the race expo to pick up my race number, and 2012 NYC Marathon clothes on clearance.
Drank amazing drinks at The Plaza!
Indulged in macaroons!
Struck a pose!
Had dinner at Butter, a Lindsay Lohan and Blair Waldorf fave.
Adorably posed for pics in Central Park.
Admired the beauty hidden away in Central Park.
Explored the Met.
Educated ourselves on history.
Snuggled on the rooftop of the Met (it was COLD up there!)
Strolled along Democracy Plaza – It was pretty neat to be in NYC over the election!
Ate cheesecake for breakfast.
Walked the Highline, and spent lots of time with Ramsey’s sister Sarah (she’s a super cool NYC girl!)
Drank Bellini’s at Pastis! (I have wanted to go there for years – always saw it on Sex and the City!)
Went to our first official NBA game! AND got a behind the scenes tour of the Barclay Center!
Discussed who would win the election.
Stalked the news anchors in that little box.
And then…we went home!!!

miles with style 
Loved the pics – So sorry you were unable to run. Good luck for 2013. NYC Marathon is top of my #Bliss List – hopefully 2014.
Great pics! I did many of the same things: We went to St. Pats and my daughter lit a candle. Also did the Top of the Rock and ‘Democracy Plaza’, of course Central Park, and we walked by the crane a couple of times (I promised my daughter I would catch it if it fell)
I feel like you did more in your short time in NY than I have in years here, haha! You’re inspiring me to actually be cultured and do things in my city!
