New York, New York!

New York was quite a good time! What a neat, fast-paced place!  We drove through the night Wednesday night and arrived in the city around 8 am on Thursday.  We hit the ground running with tours of Radio City Music Hall and NBC Studios. We later completed Thursday with some shopping and seeing the skyline from Top of the Rock.  Top of the Rock was AMAZING - I think I could stay out there all night just looking at the beautiful lights of the city.   
Beautiful Staircase in the extravagant lobby of Radio City Music Hall!

We met a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall!  In this picture: myself, Rockette, and some of my Interior Design interns!

Friday was another fast paced day with meeting a Hat designer of The Hat Shop in Soho district.  Soho was a really neat side of town - full of boutiques and neat little markets.  The store front reminded me of Charleston!  Next, we went to Lee Jofa interior design firm and spoke with designers about their job then viewed the beautiful, expensive displays of their fabric and wallpaper designs.  We then went to Mood Fabric store for a bit  and perused the wonderful fabric selections they had! Wow! I could spend money there for sure!  We wrapped up the day with a little more shopping and then had a yummy dinner at B.S. Smith's and headed over to Mary Poppins on Broadway!  Mary Poppins performance blew me away! What neat stage mechanics they had and super talented acting!  It was a neat experience!

This week has been catch up week since New York was so fast paced! I don't know that I could ever live there, but I really enjoyed and appreciated seeing all of the interior design and architecture of the city - definitely the place to be to learn anything about fashion and design!

Spring break is finally here! I hope to kick back and relax in Myrtle Beach and then Wrightsville! Thank God for a break, finally!
